🚨New work on view @marianneboeskygallery 🚨
📝 via @marianneboeskygallery “This new work by @sanfordbiggers is currently on view at our 509 W 24th Street space. For over two decades, Biggers has been working with antique quilts which echo rumors of their use as signposts on the Underground Railroad. He engages these legends and contributes to their narratives by reimagining these quilts as wall sculptures transformed by direct painting and drawing. Exploring often overlooked cultural and political narratives of American history, Biggers has become a collaborator with the past — combining narrative, perspective, and history to speak to current events. #studiosanfordbiggers #quiltart #quilting #history #marianneboeskygallery Marianne Boesky Gallery
🚨Repost from my brother @fordjourstudio:
