Art Quilts Unfolding by Schiffer Publishing

Fulfilled by our friends at Schiffer Publishing

Until now, there has not been a comprehensive, chronological history of the studio art quilt, which is an international phenomenon. This feast for the eyes offers full-color images of 400 masterpieces along with engaging interviews and profiles of 58 influential artists, key leaders, important events, and significant collections. Organized by decade, an additional 182 international artists' works are featured. An introduction by Janet Koplos, former senior editor of Art in America, and a conclusion by Ulysses Grant Dietz, emeritus chief curator of the Newark Museum, help us to understand the impact and the future of the art.
