NEW YORK NEXUS: Abstract Design in American Quilts at 50
New York Nexus presents the work of Marilyn Henrion and seven other artists directly influenced in their studio practice by the Abstract Design in American Quilts exhibition in its original Whitney Museum setting or in other venues during the early 1970s. Most of these artists were working in painting, printmaking, and collage at the time. Although the term art quilt came into use in the mid-1980s, dozens of artists were creating quilts as art in the 1970s, with Abstract Design in American Quilts functioning as an inspirational catalyst.
The expressive possibilities of fabric and stitch viewed in a gallery space opened avenues of creativity explored in various ways by the artists in New York Nexus. Each artist is represented by one work from an earlier period and one current work.
