Du Bois’s Data Portraits: Visualizing Black AmericaFor the first time, W.E.B. Du Bois’s data visualizations about Black American progress after Emancipation, which he presented at the Paris Exposition of 1900, have been compiled as a book. These meticulous, prophetic infographics — beautiful in design and powerful in content — make visible a broad spectrum of Black experience. “Svanen (The Swan)” Enamel PinWhen we first added this Hilma af Klint pin to the store, it sold out in a flash, and now it’s finally back in stock!

If you like her mystical abstractions as much as we do, we bet you’ll also get a kick out of these socks. Peruse our collection of art-inspired pins. Persian Garden ScarfThis elegant scarf is inspired by a carpet in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
