Since the artnet site, http://www.artnet.com/artist/424003014/gees-bend-quiltmakers.html, doesn't have anything by Benning on in, I would try this phone number for The Gee's Bend Quilter's Collective, (334) 573-2323. You can also talk directly to the galleries that list on that artnet site. And on a cautionary note--licensed copies can be found in stores, http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A13948-2004Feb27&notFound=true, and because they are licensed, they would also profit the quiltmakers, but they are not the real thing. Hope that helps. Hi, James, Here’s what I came up with for Gee’s Bend quilters.
