In this talk, Hannah Faberman and Elise Friedland introduce the exciting research behind a new micro exhibition, “The Missing Piece.” Presented by our Cotsen Textile Traces Study Center, the micro exhibition features a small painted textile fragment from the collection (T-2920), along with the story of how student research uncovered its hidden origins.
