Milton Glaser's exhibition at Carl Solway Gallery features carpets he designed for Lapchi, a company dedicated to the production of hand-woven, custom carpets handmade in Nepal using Tibetan wool and fine silk. These exquisite textiles measure 10 feet by 8 feet each. They utilize a knotting technique known as the Tibetan style and incorporate a unique set of complex wool dyes. A selection of these carpets was shown at the Santa Monica Museum of Art in 2012. The Carl Solway Gallery exhibition also presents drawings and prints, many relating to artists and musicians, from Glaser's archive of more than 30 years of work.
