Coat/Blanket Rack by Gere Kavanaugh

About the Item

This item arrives from the personal collection of designer Gere Kavanaugh, known as "California Design Queen" who included it among the vibrant objects and artworks adorning her home in Los Angeles's historic Angelino Heights neighborhood. Kavanaugh moved from Los Angeles's Westside to Angelino Heights around 1980, when she was already well-established as a textile, industrial, and interior designer known for her embrace of color and larger-than-life spirit. As Louise Sandhaus and Kat Catmur write in A Colorful Life: Gere Kavanaugh, Designer, "To describe Kavanaugh is to evoke all that 'colorful' can: vivid, lively, animated, dramatic, fascinating, interesting, stimulating, scintillating. Somewhere between a home and a museum, Kavanaugh's residence in Angelino Heights embodies the spirit of her life. From knocking down walls to designing her own furniture and crafting much of the decor, she has made it an evolving project for the past three decades (and she isn't finished with it yet). In the 1980s, when Kavanaugh purchased her home, the downtown Los Angeles neighborhood that had originally been a Victorian locale for the well-to-do was now considered a bit down-at-the-heels."
