Closing Soon - Gee's Bend Quilts from the Collection The 13 quilts on view were acquired in 2017 through the Souls Grown Deep Foundation and were selected to tell the history of quilt-making in Gee's Bend (Alabama) from the mid-1920s to 2005. The significance of these quilts to their makers is expressed in the quilters' own words gathered from contemporary interviews.

"In today’s parlance, she broke glass ceilings." Read the full article from Artsy: https://bit.ly/4cavZX8 Come see "Mary Cassatt at Work," the first major showing of the artist’s oeuvre since 1998–99. By considering her professionalism, her biography, and the wider Parisian world she inhabited, a richer and more complex picture of Cassatt develops, inviting contemporary conversations about gender, work, and artistic agency. #CassattatWork #artmuseum #Cassatt
