This exhibition on Ludy Strauss will showcase her Artists' Quilts collaborations, where she enlisted contemporary artists to design quilts which were then realized by professional quilters. These quilts, crafted with innovative materials and techniques, challenged traditional views of quilting and fine art, creating groundbreaking pieces that toured extensively in the early 1980s across North America. The exhibition will also feature Strauss’s collection of quilts acquired in Atlanta, sold to her by dealers with the understanding that they were created by Black quiltmakers. However, the attributions for many pieces remain unverified, with few records or signatures to confirm their origins. This ambiguity opens up broader conversations within the exhibition about authorship, provenance, and the intersection of art and commerce. Acknowledging both the cultural value of these quilts and the challenges surrounding their documentation, the exhibition aims to respect and explore the narratives and communities these quilts may represent.
