They span the arc between the purely functional and fine art, and speak much about their makers and their community. A new exhibit at the Newark Museum, Newark, N.J., ⁐atchwork from Folk Art to Fine Art,†is drawn from the museum⁳ impressive collection of more than 150 quilts, including many exquisite examples that have never been displayed publicly. The exhibition, which remains on view through the end of December, is compact, only 30 quilts, but is a comprehensive timeline of the American patchwork quilt and its influences. It affords a close look at the art of quilting, its social implications, history and contemporary interpretations.
