Customer Review:
I have seen the exhibition of the Gee's Bend quilts at the Whitney museum three times. The quilts of Gee's Bend are simple, graphic, and stunning.

This is funny, it does try and examine the American Dream (albeit in a weird and twisted way) and it is insane. Hunter Thompson takes his attorney, Gonzo, on a twisted trip to Las Vegas to cover the Mint 400,... more info

They opened my eyes to a world I hoped existed but feared did not. I have long appreciated and understood the contributions of African Americans in the arts, but... more info
