Lost Weavings of Atlanta
This article explores the history of corporate weaving commissions in Atlanta, during the height of the international fiber art movement of the 1970s through the 1990s. This period witnessed a coordinated strategy to install large-scale textile works in many of the city’s newer buildings. With few exceptions, the fate of these works remains unknown, as do the original circumstances of their creation. Atlanta is not unique in this respect; corpora…
The Craft of Anne Ryan's Collages
Between 1948 and 1954, Anne Ryan produced over 400 small‐scale collages out of worn fabrics and handmade paper. Although this work earned her a fruitful affiliation with the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York, its ‘feminine’ delicacy distinguished it from the bold styles generally associated with the artist's abstract expressionist peers. Revisiting the presupposition of a ‘feminine’ touch, this essay assesses the collages in light of Ryan's exper…

The Sentimentality of Ree Morton’s Signs of Love
The artist Ree Morton created Signs of Love (1976) after a concerted decision to introduce a more personal tenor into her artwork—a move she knew brought risks. In finding that an absence of feeling no longer worked for her, the artist deemed sentimentality a useful alternative, but one that she wanted to approach as an open-ended proposition. Over the years, critical responses to her large-scale installation suggest the artist was right to be co…
From stone to cloud
This article analyses Mary Kelly's Love Songs, 2005-07, which was exhibited in 2007 at Documenta 12. The series of artworks addresses the political and ideological legacies of early Anglo-US feminism through the perspectives of two generations of women. Drawing on oral and photographic archives, as well as historical re-enactments, Kelly indicates how her work does not simply record a feminist legacy but, rather, keenly intervenes in the process.…
