Quilt Architecture of the African American South Gee's Bend Alabama

In 2002, Gee's Bend burst into international prominence through the success of Tinwood's 'Quilts of Gee's Bend' exhibition and book, which revealed an important and previously invisible art tradition from the African American South. Critics and popular audiences alike marveled at these quilts that combined the best of contemporary design with a deeply rooted ethnic heritage and compelling human stories about the women.

'Gee's Bend: The Architecture of the Quilt' is the book relating to the museum exhibition of the same name that premiered at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) in 2006 before traveling to other American museums.

The book's 330 color illustrations and insightful text bring home the exciting experience to readers while displaying all the cultural heritage and craftsmanship that have gone into these remarkable quilts.
