The ArtQuilt Gallery•NYC opened April 5th, becoming the only commercial gallery for quilts in New York City. It will showcase the best quilts from around the world.  The gallery is located next to The City Quilter quilt shop in Manhattan's Chelsea district, and while Alex and John were in New York, they stopped by to see Cathy Izzo and Dale Riehl, co-owners of The City Quilter as they were preparing for the opening of the gallery.

The current exhibit, Quilt Drawing, features quilts of Daphne Taylor, who was born into a Quaker Philadelphia family and trained as a painter before gravitating into quilting.  In her quilts, lines reminiscent of landscape and figure are embroidered, pieced and composed within frameworks ranging from open white spaces to complex color fields.  “The results tempt the viewer into a world of light and fragmented reminisces,” critic Mimi Sherman wrote of Taylor’s quilts, which have been displayed at the Museum of Art and Design in New York. 

This exhibit runs through May 28. 

The following exhibit will be Impressionist Quilts with quilts from Noriko Endo. “As an artist, Noriko Endo never takes a false step,” said renowned American quilter Paula Nadelstern.  “Each composition, seamed from an abundance of detail and nuance, reveals new complexities, seducing the viewer to stay a long time and witness her miraculous, sleight of hand dexterity which turns minute slivers of fabric into masterful color compositions.”

This exhibit will run from June 16 to August 6.
