I had forgotten about this lovely book, but then saw it in the museum store when we went to the Pulp Fashion exhibit last week. Full of beautiful paintings and sketches, Ms. de Borchgrave's spirit of colour and elan are evident on every page. Commissioned to replace the Fortuny fabric wall coverings in the Hotel Cipriani with painted facsimiles, she spent time in Venice during one winter and that's the basis for this charming volume.
