Issued in conjunction with a 1989 exhibition "which brings together 38 tapestries from around the country. ... The works include tapestries important to the development of the field in the United States, works designed by artists who then employ weavers to carry out the project, as well as tapestries by artists (sometimes gathered in workshops) who are themselves the weavers. The catalogue explains much about the history of specifically American (as opposed to European) tapestry weaving and the current developments in this age-old form of art." (foreword) Most of the 38 entries get a full page treatment. Includes a selected bibliography.
