"On May 7, in conjunction with Frieze Art Fair New York, Swedish rug company Henzel Studio is launching an impressive collection of artist-designed carpets to be sold exclusively at Barneys New York. The creations, all handwoven to order in Nepal from Himalayan wool and silk, range from Richard Prince\u2019s dense Numbers collage to a bold red, black, and white abstraction by Assume Vivid Astro Focus to Juergen Teller\u2019s nude portrait of flame-haired Vivienne Westwood.\n\nPinterestFacebookMinter\u2019s rug design was based on one of her photographs, Cracked Glass, 2013.

The 83-square-foot piece, which takes eight months to complete, employs thicker piles and glossy silk to render the trickling beads of water, while thinner piles replicate the fissures. The rough edges and abstracted form are balanced by a pastel palette. As with the entire series, the rug is a compelling hybrid of decorative object and work of art. byhenzel.com\n\nPinterestFacebookDetail of rug, showing the different pile heights used to create the illusion of dripping water.
