The New York Times has an article on the quilts of Rosie Lee Tompkins (born Effie Mae Martin in Gould, Ark.), who will have a retrospective this September at the Berkeley Art Museum this September, and Eli Leon, the quilt collector who bequeathed them to the museum upon his death in 2018.
"Tompkins’s work, I came to realize, was one of the century’s major artistic accomplishments, giving quilt-making a radical new articulation and emotional urgency."
