No two yards are alike, and since Beckmann's death in 2018 the process cannot be repeated.

The fabric is 50 inches wide and runs 17 continuous yards, enough for drapery panels, upholstered furniture, a statement headboard or a full room installation. The teal is luminous and complex and changes with the light. Spot cleaning or dry cleaning is recommended.

This piece was acquired directly from the Barbara Beckmann estate by Heather Kearsley Wolf, a longtime friend and collaborator of the artist.

The sateen weave down not show because it is entirely covered with her brilliant painting. See less
