Synopsis
In 2002, Gee’s Bend burst into international prominence through the success of Tinwood’s Quilts of Gee’s Bend exhibition and book, which revealed an important and previously invisible art tradition from the African American South. Critics and popular audiences alike marveled at these quilts that combined the best of contemporary design with a deeply rooted ethnic heritage and compelling human stories about the women. Gee's Bend: The Architecture of the Quilt is a major book and museum exhibition that will premiere at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), in June 2006 before traveling to seven American museums through 2008. The book's 330 color illustrations and insightful text bring home the exciting experience to readers while displaying all the cultural heritage and craftsmanship that have gone into these remarkable quilts.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Large hardcover in jacket, 223 pages, index, there are color plates throughout book as well as some historical photographs. Cloth binding, book is in overall very good condition with some light reference wear to pages; there is a slight slant of spine; some dust spotting to the outer page edges. Very nice. Book comes with a copy of "Quilts of Gee's Bend," DVD. The condition seems good and is likely to play. However, I am including it for free and it is not part of the price due to the fact, sometimes DVD simply don't work. BOOK IS TOO LARGE FOR PRIORITY OR INTERNATIONAL MAIL. Thank you.
