Gee's Bend: the Architecture of the Quilt December 10, 2008
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19130
This exhibition, organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, features approximately 70 quilts made by several generations of African American women from the small farming community of Gee's Bend, Alabama. The exhibition focuses on the abstract imagery of these beautiful quilts and their relationship to African American vernacular architecture. Made between the 1930s and the present, the Gee's Bend quilts feature bright patterns, inventive color combinations, lively irregularities and unexpected compositional variations that make them outstanding examples of modern art. The quilts in the exhibition are drawn from the collection of Tinwood Alliance, a nonprofit foundation for the support of African American vernacular art.
