26th april 1937, the bombing of Gernika, Spain, by German aircrafts. To commemorate the aniversary of the Gernika bombing we commisioned the famous Basque sculptor, Koldobika Jauregi, to design a carpet. Our only request was that it should be in the same size as Picasso´s Guernica. It took ten months to weave it in a Good Weave workshop in Nepal using the best quality Tibetan wool. In this carpet Koldobika Jauregi has combined oriental elements with Basque rural images and references to Goya and Picasso. It is a one off carpet with an ideal size for your chateau or your loft! Previously displayed in San Telmo Museum, San Sebastian, Basque Country, Spain, now in our shop. The size is 773x353cms.
26 de abril 1937, hace 80 años. Para conmemorar el aniversario del bombardeo de Gernika Nómada le encargó al escultor Koldobika Jauregi el diseño de una alfombra. El único requisito que le pedimos es que tuviera el mismo tamaño que el Guernica de Picasso. Tardaron 10 meses en tejerla en Nepal, y se empleó la mejor calidad de lana tibetana. En esta alfombra Koldobika ha combinado elementos de inspiración oriental con imágenes de la vida rural vasca, tal y como acostumbra a hacer en su obra. Es una pieza única. ¡El tamaño es ideal para un caserío, un palacio o un loft! En las fotos se puede apreciar cuando estuvo expuesta en San Telmo. 773x353 cms
