Stacy Weiss: Shadyside, Pennsylvania

A great feature to the loft is the wall dividing the guest room from the main living space. Being open across the top means that natural light from the living area illuminates the otherwise window-less room. Much of Weiss's art collection comes from artists that she knows or has worked with, and in many cases they are represented at Weisshouse. The large format photograph by Chris Karavaugh is a purchase from Mendelson Gallery, a local gallery nearby to her home. The scale of the piece stands up to the open volume above, whereas something smaller could get lost. Tailored black armchairs round out the area, while a vintage Karabagh rug adds a dose of color.
