Art Quilts: A Celebration: 400 Stunning Contemporary Designs
Every quilter will want to possess this stunning anthology, which features 10 years worth of the most innovative pieces chosen for the Quilt National biennial exhibition--the top showcase for modern quilt artists. Acclaimed author Robert Shaw, a widely recognized expert on American folk art, introduces the volume and provides both a beautifully illustrated history of the art quilt movement and a special section on building, displaying, and caring for collection of quality pieces. The techniques and materials featured in these 400 spectacular quilts are as varied as the people who created them, and through spectacular color photographs and artists' discussions, readers will discover how the boundaries of traditional quilt-making have expanded in the last decade.

This book has a wonderful introductory section, followed by the exhibit catalogs for Quilt National for 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001 and 2003. It's wonderful to have them in one volume. But if you already OWN all the catalogs, you should know that this book is just the same, except the individual books' introductory sections (jurors' statements, etc) are omitted. If you don't own all the aforementioned exhibit catalogs, you'll abosolutely love having this book in your collection! It would make a stunning gift for upcoming holidays, as well.
