Cotton gobelin (blanket, tapestry) in jacquard-technique woven after Marcel van Eeden's watercolour from 2014 in a book-case-box (48 x 36,5 x 7 cm) Size of the blanket: ca. 170 x 130 cm. Sewn onto the back of the blanket is a cotton label with a unique gun-drawing signed, numbered and dated by the artist. // Oswald Sollmann – Der Traum by Marcel van Eeden, created in 2014, is a jacquard-woven tapestry that translates van Eeden’s watercolor work into textile form. This large cotton gobelin tapestry measures approximately 170 x 130 cm, capturing abstract shapes and vibrant, painterly brushstrokes in earthy tones, reminiscent of mid-century abstract expressionism. The tapestry’s layered forms and interweaving lines evoke a dreamlike, introspective atmosphere, aligning with the title Der Traum (The Dream). This edition is limited to eight pieces, each accompanied by a unique gun drawing on a cotton label sewn on the back, individually signed and numbered by van Eeden. The piece explores themes of memory and interpretation, with its tactile quality adding a new dimension to van Eeden’s original watercolor.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
