Colleen, Melitta, and I ventured to NYC on Tuesday to see “Kaleidoscope Quilts: The Art of Paula Nadelstern,” showing until September 13, 2009 at the American Folk Art Museum located on 53rd Street.<\/p>\n

What a milestone for quiltmakers everywhere!\u00a0 Paula is the first<\/em> contemporary quilt artist ever<\/em> to have her work featured at the American Folk Art Museum!<\/span> I practically had tears in my eyes the moment I walked through the hallway and saw her name painted in huge letters on the walls! <\/span><\/p>\n

Stacy C. Hollander, curator, writes:<\/span><\/p>\n

Every artist must find a voice that feels true and strong. Paula Nadelstern (b. 1951) found hers early in her career as a quilt artist, inspired by a bolt of sensuous and beautiful Liberty of London fabric. The bilateral symmetry of the design was an epiphany that stirred Nadelstern’s imagination and that has yielded a seemingly infinite vein of creative expression for more than twenty years. Focusing first on the kaleidoscopic quality in the symmetry, Nadelstern innovated new techniques and developed a highly refined, intricate, and distinctive personal aesthetic. … <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Paula and I go way back, sharing a room when we both had books with C&T to promote.\u00a0 Paula, however, has clearly gone on to the big time. And lucky me had a blast taking pictures of her and her work (which I cannot share here until approval is granted by the Museum’s Board). <\/span><\/p>\n

If you live in the NYC area, be sure to watch for Paula on the CBS Sunday Morning show.\u00a0 It was taped today.\u00a0 Also, be sure to visit the show – as nothing is better than seeing her beautiful quilts in the “flesh.” If you cannot, please<\/span> visit her website<\/a> (and notice who maintains it <g>) to see her work and\/or order her books.\u00a0 Information about the show at the Museum is here<\/a>.\u00a0 And enjoy the video tour of the exhibition from YouTube, produced by eQuilt.com, below.
