Kaleidoscope Quilts:
The Art of Paula Nadelstern
This is the American Folk Art Museum’s first one-person exhibition highlighting the work of a contemporary quilt artist. Paula Nadelstern has achieved international recognition for her innovative and complex designs inspired by the bilateral symmetry of kaleidoscope images. Her artistic vision encompasses science, history, and tradition, expressed in crystalline patterns composed of slivers of jewel like fabrics.
The exhibit is organized by Stacy C. Hollander, senior curator and director of exhibitions.
