11 At the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, many colleagues provided expertise and support for this exhibition and catalogue. Deborah Roldán, associate director of exhibitions, along with her team of Marcelina Guerrero and Briana Gonzalez, worked tirelessly to coordinate the logistics and budget for the show. Per Knutås, head of conservation, Karen Willis, and Jane Gillies, as well as Julie Bakke and Monica Vidal, deserve much recognition for their skillful care and coordination of the exhibition’s works. Special thanks to associate conser- vator Ingrid Seyb and Houston-area weaver Blaine Davis for providing their expertise on the project. Thanks to Dale Benson, chief preparator, and his team for expertly overseeing the installation of the works, and to Frances Trahan for her ingenuity with mounts for these spectacular pieces. Thanks to Jon Evans, chief of libraries and archives, and Jamie Teich for important acquisitions of early catalogues on Amaral. Thank you to Arden Decker, associate director of the International Center for the Arts of the Americas (ICAA) and her team. Additional appreciation goes to Kendall DeBoer, former Windgate Fellow, for the crucial research support she provided in summer 2018, as well as to the American Craft Council, Beth Goodrich, and Hannah O’Neill. We would also like to thank colleagues in the Department of Decorative Arts, Craft, and Design, Christine Gervais, Marissa Hershon, Sarah Horne, and Madison Rendall, for their continued support. Special thanks to Susie J. Silbert for her experienced counsel. Most notably, momentous gratitude goes to Cindi Strauss, the Morgan Curator of Decorative Arts, Craft, and Design, for her leadership and mentorship over the past several years. Words cannot express what her guidance has meant throughout this process. We must conclude by reiterating our thanks to Olga, Jim, and the entire Amaral family for their trust and unwavering support throughout this process. It has been an honor to work with them to realize this monumental exhibition.
