Gee’s Bend Feathered Throw Pillow
The Philadelphia Museum of Art’s inaugural collection with Cloth & Company shines a spotlight on the quilting community of Gee’s Bend, Alabama. The quilts created by the women of Gee’s Bend are among the most recognizable and beloved pieces of American Art worldwide. Integral to the cultural and historical identity of African American communities in the South, the women of Gee’s Bend crafted quilts to provide warmth for themselves and their children. In the process, they developed a distinctive style renowned for its vibrant improvisations and geometric simplicity. This collaboration includes digitally reproduced artwork of five quilts from the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s esteemed collection which were acquired by the museum in 2017 through the Souls Grown Deep Foundation.
