My copy of Art Quilts: A Celebration gets a lot of use - looking through the 1995-2003 QNs to find quilts that still look fresh, contemporary. Even though they may have started "a style", too much repetition (by others) makes them seem "very last decade". It takes quite a few years for them to become iconic, the way Nancy Crow and Michael James's early work has. Also I wonder if the quiltmaker's development along slightly different paths makes their early work seem "dated" - or "groundbreaking"...Margaret Cooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08529035740804527176noreply@blogger.com
