Rare Petit Point Flower Basket Quilt Sells

For $16,000

Dana Balsamo Gets Strong Results At Quilt Sale

By Karl Pass

An elaborate hand-pieced quilt made in the 1950s, comprising more than 70,000 individual

fabric triangles, achieved $16,000 (prices reported do not include an 18 percent buyer’s premium) at Dana Auctions, setting a new house record for a single quilt. The

quilt led the firm’s Antique and Vintage Quilts and Textiles auction held May 30.

The first 38 lots were the work of Fayette County, Pa., quiltmakers Ethel Clement and her daughter, Genevieve Odom. This special collection from western Pennsylvania, from the mother and daughter team were quilts they made from drafting their own patterns based on historical quilts, including ones by Grace Snyder and Rose Kretsinger. Ethel Clement’s Petit Point Flower Basket quilt (lot 1), was hand-pieced and hand-quilted between 1954 and 1959 from 70,088 individual halfsquare triangles, each forming a finished square of just half an inch. Every visible surface of the quilt, even areas that read as solid color, were constructed entirely from these tiny, pieced triangles, creating a graphic arrangement of flower baskets framed by intricate pieced borders and a vining outer border. A hand-embroidered label on the reverse records the maker’s achievement: “Petit Point - 70,088 Pieces - 1954-1959 - E.T.C.”

Clement’s ambition was deliberate. She set out to rival the celebrated Nebraska quiltmaker Grace Snyder, whose own Flower Basket Petit Point quilt contains more

than 87,000 pieces and whose work is held in major institutional collections, including the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Neb. Clement’s work stands within that same tradition of extraordinary technical virtuosity while asserting an identity of its own. What set it apart was the remarkable survival of the materials documenting its creation. The quilt was offered together with Clement’s hand-drafted pattern (drawn by her brother), the China plate that inspired the design, a cookie tin, candy box, and cigar box filled with unused fabric pieces, a small diary documenting her progress, a pillow and two additional blocks in a different basket pattern, and ephemera relating to Grace Snyder’s quilts. Together, these elements offer an unusually complete record of the labor and intention behind the finished work, a window into the creative process rarely preserved for a quilt of this age and ambition. The consignor, who descends from the maker’s family, watched the sale live. According to Dana Balsamo of Dana Auctions, she was moved to tears overcome with excitement and happiness as the lot crossed the block.

“The

Crossing: Picturing The American Revolution”

Exhibit To Open At Michener Art Museum On June 27

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Michener Art Museum will introduce new perspectives on a related event that also occurred in 1776: The crossing of the Delaware River by George Washington and his troops on Christmas night to surprise Hessian soldiers stationed at Trenton, N.J., marking a major turning point in the American Revolution. The German American artist Emanuel Leutze (1816-68) exhibited his vision of this scene in New York in 1851, and it was eventually published as a popular engraving and donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. According to an 1851 issue of the “Bulletin of the American

in the rare first-issue jacket of Hemingway’s first novel was published in New York by Charles Scribner’s Sons in 1926. It was printed in an edition of only 1,250 copies. Hemingway blamed the publisher’s poor promotion and use of blurbs by more famous writers for the book’s lack of commercial success. Hemingway’s “Green Hills of Africa” realized $5,760. This first edition, first printing features decorations by Edward Shenton. It was published in New York by Charles Scribner’s Sons in 1935 and retained its original publisher’s unclipped (“$2.75”) dust jacket.

It featured its original mixed early issue dust jacket, with its details indicating an early issue.

The History And Artistic Impact Of Tarot

“Tarot! Renaissance Symbols, Modern Visions” Opens June 26

The Morgan Library & Museum will present “Tarot! Renaissance Symbols, Modern Visions,” an exhibition in two parts that explores the origins of tarot in Renaissance Italy and its contemporary relevance as an enduring source of inspiration for 20th- and 21st-century artists. The first part, “Renaissance Symbols,” focuses on the earliest surviving tarot decks from the 15th century, examining the rich court culture from which the cards emerged, the development of the cards’ imagery, and how

Other notable results included a ca. 1950 Paradise Garden quilt (Kretsinger version) by Genevieve Odom selling for $3,250 and a ca. 1950 Floral Mandala quilt (Brooklyn Museum) by Genevieve Odom, for $2,600. An antique ca. 1850 Setting Sun quilt in Chintz fabrics sold for $2,400, and a ca. 1830 Mosaic quilt top in English chintz hexagons, $2,600.

According to Balsamo, Genevieve Odom’s quilts reflect a sophisticated understanding of historic design and the way patterns are transmitted and reinterpreted across generations.

Her Paradise Garden quilts trace a lineage commonly associated with Rose Kretsinger that extends further still through Lorraine Pine Eisfeller and documentation by Ruth Finley to an 1857 quilt attributed to Arsinoe Kelsey.

Balsamo attributes the sale’s strong prices to its targeted, scholarship-driven marketing, which connects significant material culture directly with the collectors most likely to value it.

“This collection allowed us to see quiltmaking not as isolated objects, but as part of an ongoing conversation,” said Balsamo. “Ethel Clement and Genevieve Odom were clearly inspired by earlier makers, studying them, learning from them, and making it their own. That level of intention is what makes this collection so important, and our collectors recognized it.”

that imagery became the basis for later divination practices. The second part, “Modern Visions,” traces artists’ engagement with tarot imagery during four distinct historical moments in which the occult assumed greater prominence within the larger culture, culminating in a new commission by renowned contemporary artist Chris Ofili. The exhibition will be on view from Friday, June 26, through Sunday, Oct. 4.

The impetus for this exhibition was the Morgan’s Visconti-Sforza Tarot cards, the most

The Visconti-Sforza deck was commissioned to commemorate the marriage of two powerful families in Milan, and was probably created by the artist Bonifacio Bembo. “Tarot!” reunites all the figural cards in the Morgan’s collection with those in the collection of Accademia Carrara, Bergamo, Italy, marking the first time the majority of the cards from this important deck will be displayed together in North America.

courtly game of skill, tarot was not associated with occult secrets, divination, or the power of fate until centuries later. By the 20th century, the cards came to serve as a source of inspiration for artists, offering an alternative to the strictures of modernist aesthetics and allowing them to explore other universes and imaginative possibilities.

“‘Tarot!’ offers fresh perspectives on a popular and widely known subject through a uniquely arthistorical lens,” said Colin B. Bailey, Katharine J. Rayner Director of the Morgan Library & Museum. “This exhibition marks the culmination of years of careful research into both the history and creation

of a celebrated Renaissance art form and the broader history of tarot, tracing its influence up to the present day, where contemporary artists continue to draw on its imagery to create sublime works of art. The reunification of the Visconti-Sforza Tarot deck was made possible through the Morgan’s collaboration with the Accademia Carrara, Bergamo, and we are deeply grateful for their partnership.”

This exhibition honors a collaborative research project, conducted over several years across six cultural institutions, that compared the three oldest surviving sets of tarocchi (tarot) cards. The study began in 2021 and included conservators,

conservation scientists, and curators from the Morgan Library & Museum; Yale University; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Center for Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, “La Venaria Reale,” in Turin; the Accademia Carrara; and the Pinacoteca di Brera. Marking the first time these cards were subject to in-depth technical analysis, this project provided a deeper understanding of the cards’ materials and production, situating them firmly within the context of contemporary northern Italian illumination.
