Kentucky Museum of Art &amp; Craft, Louisville, KY.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s now been nearly a century since quilts were first collected and exhibited and they\u2019ve come a long way, baby. In this episode of <em>Why Quilts Matter: History, Art &amp; Politics<\/em>, we trace their slow incursion into museum collections, watching as they finally make the leap from tester bed to gallery wall. The episode charts institutional attitudes toward quilts as objects, rationales for their selection, and the public response to their exhibition (hint: it\u2019s very good). To make it all clear, we trace the path of one exemplary quilt from maker to museum. Finally, we explore the lure of quilts for a private collector\u2026who\u2019s got to have them, and why.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Why Quilts Matter: History, Art &amp; Politics - Episode 6: How Quilts have been Viewed and Collected\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whyquiltsmatter.org\/staging20231003\/portfolio\/episode-6-how-quilts-have-been-viewed-and-collected\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read full episode description and view episode trailer&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Why Quilts Matter: History, Art &amp; Politics - Image Resource Guide (PDF)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.whyquiltsmatter.org\/docs\/image_resource_guides\/Why_Quilts_Matter_Documentary_Image_Resource_Guide_E6_How_Quilts_have_been_Viewed_and_Collected.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download Image Resource Guide for this episode (PDF)&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"donotpin alignleft size-full wp-image-4195\" title=\"Pinterest - Badge\" alt=\"Pinterest - Badge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whyquiltsmatter.org\/staging20231003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/pinterest_badge_red.png\" width=\"34\" height=\"34\" \/>Click on an image below to enlarge; hover over an image to pin to Pinterest:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[nggallery id=9]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Why Quilts Matter: History, Art &amp; Politics - Follow Us on Pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/whyquiltsmatter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"donotpin alignnone  wp-image-4197\" title=\"Why Quilts Matter - Follow Us on Pinterest\" alt=\"Why Quilts Matter - Follow Us on Pinterest\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whyquiltsmatter.org\/staging20231003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/pinterest_logo1_mod2-300x105.png\" width=\"210\" height=\"74\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whyquiltsmatter.org\/staging20231003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/pinterest_logo1_mod2-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/www.whyquiltsmatter.org\/staging20231003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/pinterest_logo1_mod2.png 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Episode 6 &#8211; How Quilts have been Viewed and Collected &nbsp; It\u2019s now been nearly a century since quilts were first collected and exhibited and they\u2019ve come a long way, baby.
