Jacques Borker

Jacques Borker, born on 29 September 1922 in Paris, France, was one of the first French designers of art carpets. He is currently a painter on plexiglas. Jacques Borker studied various artistic disciplines at the École des Beaux-Arts, where he was a contemporary and friend of Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Lurçat, Zao Wou-Ki, Pierre Soulages and Hans Hartung. His work has been exhibited in art galleries and museums in many cities around the world, including Paris (e.g. Galeries Lafayette), Stuttgart (Mercedes-Benz Museum), New York, Marseille, London, Geneva, Lausanne, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, New Delhi and Vilnius.
