The Bizarre, Unbelievable, and Miraculous Story of The Salt Lake City 14th Ward Album Quilt, 1857
It’s like a true crime podcast, but it’s about art. An heirloom masterpiece is created, mutilated, inherited, then lost--one of the most important objects in a rich culture’s history. Over a century later, a frantic search ensues, not unlike a manhunt, with a deadline fast approaching and a forthcoming, major exhibition hanging in the balance. Can it be recovered in time?
Scholars Heather Belnap, Ashlee Whitaker Evans, and Brontë Hebdon detail the extraordinary tale of a pre-Civil War album quilt cut in half, lost, and then found. The work itself is one of the most significant objects in all of LDS culture.
