- An art form derived from necessity, rag rugs were traditionally made from discarded clothing. Through braiding and stitching, these cast-off pieces were given a second life and transformed into usable art by domestic makers.

- We love the warm, pink and brown palette of this rug. It would make a sturdy and beautiful addition to a hallway or entryway.

- This one-of-a-kind rug is in good vintage condition, with wear consistent with age and use. New pink bindings have recently been added on both ends. Please see our detailed photos.

- “A love letter to the monumental institution…[Metropolitan Stories] reads like a work by John Cheever…[Coulson] captured the spirit of the place and brought it magically to life.” - The Wall Street Journal

- In her debut novel, author Christine Coulson has created a surreal and exquisite guidebook to the unseen world of the Met, the storied New York City museum. Using her personal favorite works of art as signposts, readers are ushered through the private halls of the institution where we discover larger-than-life characters, the downside of survival, and the powerful voices of the art itself. The result is a novel bursting with magic, humor, and energetic detail, but also a beautiful book about introspection, an ode to lives lived for art, ultimately building a powerful collage of human experience and the world of the imagination.

- Combining a vast knowledge of art history with sharp wit and approachable storytelling, this is as much a novel for those who frequent the Met’s steps as those who have never tread them.

- Author Christine Coulson spent 25 years writing for The Metropolitan Museum of Art and left the museum as Senior Writer in 2019. She started at The Met in 1991 as a summer intern in the European Paintings Department and returned to start her first job there after graduate school in 1994. During her tenure, she rose through the ranks of the museum, working in the Development Office, the Director’s Office, and the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts.

- This is a newly printed book, multiples are available.

- Dimensions: 11.52 x 2.2 x 11.75 inches, 416 pages, hardback

- The definitive book on one of our favorite painters, this gorgeous and larger than life hardback volume charts the development of an iconic artist's singular American style.

- In Alex Katz, editor Carl Ratcliff, with the help of Alex’s son, poet Vincent Katz, has distilled the artist’s nearly 80 year career into 416 pages of photographs, sketches, ephemera, contemporary works, and over 250 full-color paintings (many never before published), all printed at a stunning, never-before-seen scale.

- Over seven decades, Katz has developed his vision with determination as the tides of avant-garde and academic fashion ebbed and flowed. His first audience was other painters (including de Kooning and Philip Guston), and today, still, he is perhaps best understood by other artists: those who appreciate how difficult it is to make something so simple, so well. Working in a representational style while his classmates celebrated Abstract Expressionism, eschewing slick surfaces for a pared-down view while his peers went glossy with Pop, Katz cleaved to one vision, a few locations, and subjects. Katz's endurance and commitment to developing an original American style is explored in depth, from his boyhood influences to an artistic circle that included John Ashbery, Ted Berrigan, Lois Dodd, Kenneth Koch, Frank O'Hara, Fairfield Porter, Yvonne Rainer, Larry Rivers, and Paul Taylor.

- This volume features a gorgeous, vibrant slipcase, ideal for gifting and coffee table display.

- Multiples available; available to view in person at our New York City gallery.
