Approximately 20 prints and drawings demonstrate the continuing legacy of the BMA’s relationship with the Matisse family. Etta and Claribel Cone’s dedication to collecting the art of Henri Matisse established at the BMA one of the most comprehensive collections of the artist’s work. The close personal relationship between the artist and the Cone sisters provided the opportunity to acquire key works from the late 20s and early 30s while encouraging Etta Cone to collect all aspects of the artist’s work—painting, sculpture, and graphic arts.
Among the many recent additions to the BMA’s late 20th-century textile collection are five stunning quilts created by professional artists who abandoned their original media in order to express themselves with cloth and thread. These intricate art quilts include examples of works by the foremost proponent of the art quilt, Michael James, whose stunning Metamorphosis (1983) plays with color transitions and the illusions of space. Pamela Studstill’s elaborately pieced and painted quilt, #76 (1988), is accompanied by the original commission drawing and fabric swatches.

Hidden World of Girls
Marin Alsop, conductor
The radio series Hidden World of Girls by NPR’s Kitchen Sisters explores the diverse lives of girls and the women they become—stories of coming of age, rituals and rites of passage, secret identities—women who crossed a line, blazed a trail, changed the tide. The musical adaptation by Laura Karpman and other leading female composers brings those stories to the concert hall in a dramatic multimedia experience.
