Windows of the Wedding Mug Set x Faith Ringgold

This set of two complementary mugs depicts African American artist Faith Ringgold's works: Windows of the Wedding #1: Woman (1974) and Windows of the Wedding #2: Breakfast in Bed (1974).

Faith Ringgold's paintings shifted in the 1970s from traditional oils to her first unstretched works bordered with pieced fabric. The Window of the Wedding series is one of her earliest un-stretched fabric paintings, inspired by Tibetan Buddhist thangkas, paintings on silk, and hung from wood dowels, that she encountered on a visit to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam in the summer of 1972. The abstract works were done in collaboration with her mother, Willi Posey, a fashion designer.
