This set of two complimentary 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 un-stretched 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 Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam in the summer of 1972.
The abstract works were done in collaboration with her mother, Willi Posey, a fashion designer.
