TOE TAPESTRIES: ART RUGS

DAMIEN HIRST, beautiful oasis in a deserted expanse, drink up the beauty before it’s too late rug, $42,488

Artspace is a great resource for both emerging and established artists work. These rugs by contemporary artists unite fine art with luxe textiles. Yes, call them tapestries for your toes. Each one is a limited edition hand knotted rug made of 100% Himalayan wool and silk, numbered and made to order taking anywhere from 5 to 7 months to complete. They aren’t cheap but you can be pretty sure you’ll be the only one on your block that has one. And unlike your run-of-the-mill floor covering, they will likely be worth more than you paid in the future, not less.
