Provenance: Sotheby's March 3, 2021; Private South Carolina Collection
Note: Purple Blanket is one of the last paintings in Green's important Quilt Series executed in 2007. This group of vibrant paintings depicts the southern tradition of quilt making by the Gullah people.
In 2009, Green was presented with the Key of Life Award by the NAACP which recognizes artists whose work speaks to the ongoing crusade for human rights and social justice. He was joined in this honor by Elizabeth Catlett and Sam Gilliam, two acclaimed African American artists.
