Quilt National 07: More than a catalog
13. Juni 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is subtitled "The Best of Contemporary Quilts" - and that's an understatement. Quilt National is *the* art quilt show in the world, and the jurors have again done an amazing job of whittling the 1151 slides from 545 artists, from 45 states and 19 countries other than the USA down to just 83 quilts. I would love to see the show hanging - but the book is the next best thing to being there.
This book has been thoughtfully designed and produced - as were the other two Quilt National books I own (Art Quilts: A Celebration: 400 Stunning Contemporary Designs and Quilt National 2005: The Best in Contemporary Quilts (Quilt National).
There's enough white space to let the quilts stand on their own, and the photography shows the beauty of the quilting stitches featured in some of these artworks. The book's design flows beautifully from each page to the next - each double page spread is sensitively composed.
Each time I turned the page I said "this, THIS is my favourite quilt of the show" - only to be awestruck at the next page turn and a new favourite. Whether the artists chose a traditional bed quilt format, or ventured into the realm of 3-D textile sculpture; whether using very old surface design techniques such as dye or the latest in computer manipulated and printed imagery, every one of the 83 quilts in this book is stunning.
The artists statements accompanying the photos are concise and add insight to the maker's thought processes. There's no long winded waffle, just clear statements about the works. Very refreshing!
Anyone who doubts that quilts should indeed stand beside "fine art" in galleries needs this book - it will surely change their perception.

Outstanding fiber art
1. Juli 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Even after 14 other exhibits of "the best of contemporary quilts," the quilts gathered for Quilt National 2007 and showcased in the print version of the entries, also entitled Quilt National 2007, still represent innovative ideas and techniques. These works defy the adage that "there's nothing new under the sun," for they adhere to the definition of quilt, yet take that form to new levels.
This, the first exhibit since the passing of Hilary Morrow Fletcher, who guided the project for 23 years, is truly a feast for the eye, albeit rendered as ink on paper.
The textile treasures run the gamut from the realistic/pictorial to the wildly abstract and include sculptural pieces as well. The content taps into nature, the psyche, politics, urban life, and other subjects both deep and simple, but all rendered thoughtfully.
If you can't view the actual show (on display through September 3, 2007, at the Dairy Barn and then traveling in part or entirely to St. Louis, MO; Houston, TX; Lancaster, PA (two exhibits); and Bloomingdale, IL, through 2009), then by all means visit it vicariously through the pages of this book.

Show is better than the book
18. Juli 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I have all the Quilt National books. Although they are good reminders of the biannual show, the photography cannot capture the unique nature of the works. This year, I have also heard of a complaint from one of the entrants that one piece was not photographed in its entirety. Nonetheless, if you can't get there to see the show in person, the book is your next best alternative.
