												Art Production Fund (APF) is please to announce the launch of WOW (Works on Whatever) series at the Madeline Weinrib Atelier, ABC Carpet & Home, with the WOW works on carpet and tapestry collections.

												WOW is a unique design collection; material, method, and affordable prices make the products available to a broad and diverse audience. APF acts as a philanthropic entrepreneur, with revenues from sales profiting both the artists and APF, thus facilitating our program of supporting artists' projects and visions as well as expanding popular interest in contemporary art. Madeline Weinrib Atelier at ABC Carpet and Home is the premier retail venue for WOW.

												WOW (Works on Carpet) is the first product collection in the WOW series. APF invites leading visual artists to explore a new medium and format for their work. For these fine art editions artists use state of the art printing and manufacturing techniques to create machine made monumental artworks. Area rugs, which can also be hung on the wall as tapestries, are sold in limited editions, with prices starting at $1,500. Wall to wall designs are produced in unlimited quantities, and can be installed as traditional wall to wall carpeting or cut and bound as area rugs.

												WOW (Works on Tapestries) are exquisite hand woven pieces by some of contemporary art's most respected artists. Expert weavers in Mexico translate current images into tactile experiences, directly embracing the rich history and tradition of tapestries. Tapestries by John Currin and Lisa Yuskavage are currently available.

												Madeline Weinrib has exhibited her paintings internationally, curated a group show for Art in General, and was represented by DeChiaraStewartGallery in New York. Several years ago, sensing a gap in the carpet industry, she began to create innovative carpets that mirror exciting new concepts in art and design. The great granddaughter of ABC Carpet's founder, Madeline opened her Atelier on the 6th floor in 2004, as a retail venue for her expanding design vocabulary, which includes Ikat textiles, limited-edition chairs, pillows, and carpetbags. Her showroom also features a selection of works by other contemporary artists and designers, making the Atelier a natural partner for Art Production Fund's WOW (Works on Carpet) series.

												APF is a non profit organization dedicated to facilitating ambitious projects by contemporary artists, reaching new audiences and expanding public participation and understanding of contemporary art.

												 APF was co-founded in 2000 by Yvonne Force Villareal and Doreen Remen. Past projects include: SHOW, by Vanessa Beecroft, Solomon R.
