From the Estate of Eli Leon: Textile Improvisations
Eli Leon was an Oakland-based collector, scholar, and champion of African American quiltmakers whose gift of nearly three thousand quilts to BAMPFA has made possible an inspiring future of scholarship and presentation, currently on view in the Routed West exhibition. In addition to collecting artwork, Leon also compiled a massive—and unruly—collection of raw materials and textiles. The Estate of Eli Leon has made available the last remaining fabric scraps from Leon’s collection to seed new work and continue to foreground contemporary artists working in textiles.
