Description:
Based on the photo "Black Couple with Baby, Bakersfield, CA, 1979-89" by Leon Borensztein, You're All I Need was featured as part of the Bisa Butler exhibit, The World is Yours, at the Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in New York City. Here is some more context from Bisa on the quilt and the couple at the center of it that she gave in an interview about the exhibit for The New York Times: “They just look so lovely and warm and stylish,” Ms. Butler said. “It was all the things I wish for a couple.” The couple reminded Ms. Butler of the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell song “You’re All I Need to Get By,” so she stitched the song lyrics behind the couple."
