About the Book
Contemporary Quilt Art: An Introduction and Guide is the story of the studio quilt, a new form of textile art that is not well known. Emerging in the late twentieth century, when professional artists began to use the structure, materials, and techniques of the traditional craft as a medium for art, studio quilts now range from exquisitely expressive objects to social commentary.
The author presents the work of 19 of the best artists in this field as well as a guide for buyers and collectors to educational resources, the marketplace, art consultants, commissions, appraisals, insurance, display, and care of textile art. Each section of this book can be read independently. Research was carried out through interviews with artists, collectors, museum curators, gallery directors, art consultants, conservators, appraisers, and insurance agents.
