This year’s auction will also include many pieces from important collections, including Kippy Stroud, who started the Fabric Workshop & Museum in Philadelphia, Pa., where she exhibited some of the most famous contemporary artists in the last 40 years. She loved art and saw art in Shaker Antique furniture and accessories. She also sponsored “Kamp Kippy” on Mt. Desert Island in Maine, where selected artists, curators & museum directors could share the artists projects along with dinner, joining together to share their love of art. Kippy passed in 2015 and we miss her greatly. We appreciate what she did, and will continue to do so in the future to support the arts via the Fabric Workshop in Philadelphia.
