Strips of painted and dyed acrylic canvas are reassembled in this dynamic composition by Rachel Eulena Williams in ‘My Way: A Gathering’ at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery in Tribeca. Featuring work by Gee’s Bend Quiltmakers and younger Black female artists in touch with their artistic forebears’ legacy, this group exhibition is a visual feast of pattern and color. (On view through Feb 18th.)
Quilts by Gee’s Bend Quiltmakers Mary Lee Bendolph (background) and Loretta Pettway Bennett (foreground) are the highlight of Kaufman Repetto’s current group show, an exhibition that asks what’s new for art as more female artists have come to prominence over the past several decades. Bennett’s denim quilt suggests that the contributions of many have produced a prize result. (On view in Chelsea through Feb 24th).
