ADOLPHE MOURON CASSANDRE (1901-1968) [HERMÈS SILK SCARF.] 1951.
34x34 inches, 86x86 cm.
Condition A. Silk. In original box.
In 1951, Hermès commissioned Cassandre to create a design for their world-famous silk scarves. Produced using at least five different colors, the design of a structure amidst clouds is an elaborate, Escher-esque architectural construction with a sophisticated play on perspective. Cassandre / Suntory p. 107.
