5. “Flower Beneath the Foot” at Emma Scully Gallery | Upper East Side 

The textile designer Madeline Weinrib enjoyed a fruitful creative partnership with the late poet, critic, and artist Rene Ricard, first developing a rug collection from a design in which he wrote her name repeatedly in his distinct penmanship. After his death, she “still felt in dialogue with him” and decided to expand the collection in honor of his creative vision. Using Ricard’s first rug as a guide, Weinrib sent textile and handwriting samples to Nepalese artisans over several years to conceive new rugs marked by lush blooms and intricate weaving reflective of Ricard’s extraordinary knowledge of color and love for textiles. Complementing the show are ornate glass chandeliers by Dana Arbib and bronze lily-shaped sconces by Simone Bodmer-Turner.
