Dated March 29, 2007, during the landmark traveling museum exhibition, this piece directly connects to a pivotal moment in American art history, when the quilts of Gee’s Bend were recognized as masterworks of modern abstraction.

With bold geometric compositions and deep cultural roots, Gee’s Bend quilts are held in major museum collections and are highly sought after by collectors of African American art, textile art, and modern design. Signed examples—especially with multiple artists—are increasingly scarce.

A striking and meaningful addition to any design-forward interior, equally compelling styled on a coffee table or within a curated library. See less
