More DescriptionUntil now, there has not been a comprehensive, chronological history of the studio art quilt, which is an international phenomenon. This feast for the eyes offers full-color images of 400 masterpieces along with engaging interviews and profiles of 58 influential artists, key leaders, important events, and significantcollections. Organized by decade, an additional 182 international artists' works are featured.
