Notes: A scarce vintage hand screen-printed pop art fabric wall-panel of stylised bright purple maple leaves. It was created by award-winning German painter, graphic artist, fabric designer and jeweler, Traute Sänger (1928-2017), for her own company, Sängerform, in the late 1960s.

Sänger's imagery often channels the abstracted colours and bold forms of post-war advertising graphics and the nostalgic naïveté of children's book illustration. The fine balance between the two and the bang-on-trend appeal of bold maximalist prints ensure they could suit children's rooms and more grown-up spaces equally.

Each screenprint is signed 'Sänger'.

These are NOS (New Old Stock) from the artist's estate sale. We acquired a number of the original hand-drawn drafts for similar designs, dated 1968.

Each runner / hanging has been hand-printed onto thick cotton panels with two stitched sides and raw edges at the top and bottom ends. They are hand-washable at 30° Centigrade.

This is one of many different designs we have stocked - which range from friendly crocodiles to bold flowers to abstract patterns. Please see our other listings for different designs and colour combinations.

Condition Report: Our Sängerform fabric panels are clean and in excellent condition, but are being shipped 'as found'. These panels have spent decades folded, and as such they will require a light soak and iron to remove or lessen any creases.
