Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The exhibition Abstract Design in American Quilts opened at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City on 1 July 1971, and quilting has not been the same since. From this universally acknowledged seminal event dates the study of quilting as a serious art form and the tremendously important international cross-fertilization among art historians, textile scholars, and the artist-craftspeople who work in quilts. This important work is a personal statement of Jonathan Holstein's development as a pioneer quilting connoisseur, a guide to the quilts of the Whitney exhibition, and a study of the effects of the consequent explosion of attention to this art form. Book News Annotation:Introduces abstract data types and their use in software engineering.
Holstein, along with Gail van der Hoof, was responsible for the
important Whitney Museum of American Art exhibition, in American
Quilts in 1991 (its 20th anniversary). He here tells the story of
both exhibitions as well as what he learned about quilts in between.
Includes color photos of 61 of the quilts, with detailed captions.
