AUBUSSON TAPESTRY: ICON FACTORY
Galerie Hadjer is pleased to present its first thematic exhibition, “Aubusson Tapestry: The Icon Factory,” which will be held from October 21 to November 29, 2025, during Art Basel Paris. Specializing in tapestries by the great masters of the 20th century, the gallery is organizing a celebration of the centuries-old craftsmanship of the French workshops of Aubusson, where the passage of time restores the image to its full symbolic and sacred power.
This exhibition aims to question the notion of the value of the image in a century dominated by the emergence of mass imagery and its technical reproducibility. Each tapestry, the result of patient, embodied craftsmanship and the bearer of a thousand-year-old tradition, gives the work a density, a materiality, and a presence in the long term, giving rise to enduring icons.
