Gee’s Bend Quiltmakers at Kaufmann Repetto

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).

Installation view of ‘Women are very good at crying and they should be getting paid for it,’ at Kaufmann Repetto, January, 2018. Featuring quilts by Gee’s Bend Quiltmakers Mary Lee Bendolph (background) and Loretta Pettway Bennett (foreground).
