"Workt by Hand": Hidden Labor and Historical Quilts on view December 20, 2013-April 27, 2014 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
"The exhibition examines the historical designation of quilts as crafts rather than art objects, as well as the Modernism-influenced shift during the late 20th century toward an appreciation of quilts as works of abstract art. This shift, and its implications for the way quilts have been seen and understood, will be explored by presenting them both vertically—as they are now frequently shown in museums and galleries—and horizontally, as though on the beds for which many were originally designed.
Spanning two centuries, “Workt by Hand” features examples of iconic quilting designs and techniques, including the “Log Cabin” style, “Double Wedding Band” designs, Amish “Sunshine and Shadow” style, album quilts, and “crazy quilts.” Within thematic sections, the exhibition emphasizes the intriguing and ever-changing interpretation of quilts."
