Rediscovering the Textiles of Marguerita Mergentime
During New York Textile Month in September, 2018, Virginia Bayer, Marguerita’s granddaughter, gave a talk, The Power of Cloth: Marguerita Mergentime, as part of the day-long Iconic Textiles program. Bayer spoke on Marguerita’s career and her 1930s table linens that were revolutionary in their bold colors and unusual subject matter.
