Description

The de Young hosts Amish Abstractions: Quilts from the Collection of Faith and Stephen Brown through June 6, 2010. The exhibition features 48 full-size and crib quilts dating from the 1880s to the 1940s from various Amish communities in Pennsylvania and the Midwest. Using a rich color palette and bold patterns, these quilts are truly a unique contribution to American textile history. The quilts highlight the beauty and complexity of the abstract patterns.
