Lou DeLuca, My rug, titled “After Albers,” is in tribute to Josef Albers who taught design at both Black Mountain College and Yale for decades. His wife Ani Albers was a famous weaver who also made rugs. The colors and design are inspired by the cover illustration of his seminal study of the interaction of color. If the person who buys this wants to hang it rather than use it as a rug, Lou will attach a hanging sleeve for them.
