Two new Hodgkin rugs made with Christopher Farr

Two new Howard Hodgkin rugs produced with Christopher Farr are now available from Gagosian.
They feature in this weekend’s Financial Times HTSI section, in the article ‘Rugs so good you won’t want to walk on them’ by Victoria Woodcock.

“Howard was always interested in collaborating,” says Antony Peattie of his late partner.“Howard used to say that he wanted reproductions to bear the same relationship to the painting as a seed packet does to a flower,” says Peattie, looking at one of two paintings that have been adapted by British rug-maker Christopher Farr. “In other words, more vroom. Brought out. Improved.” He laughs. “And I think the rugs do that!” ⁠
