Mathieu Matégot (1910-2001) Oberon c.1950s wool tapestry, Manufactura de Tapeçarias de Portalegre; (possibly) no. 2 125 x 202 cm signed ‘Matégot’ and with the Manufactura de Tapeçarias de Portalegre monogram (lower right); titled, inscribed, numbered and signed (workshop label on the verso) Price: $18,000 USD Provenance: Barry Friedman Ltd, New York (stock no.
