Description
Sheila Hicks (Bilingual edition) showcases the work of a pioneer of textile postmodernism.
Sheila Hicks has made wool, linen, and silk her central media, pushing the boundaries of traditional textile art. Her works combine colour, form, and material in novel ways and explore architectural dimensions.
As a pioneer of textile conceptual art, Hicks has developed a distinctive visual language over six decades, ranging from finely woven miniatures to monumental installations that open up new perspectives on the possibilities of art.
This book contains views of Sheila Hicks's exhibition a little bit of a lot of things at the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, as well as a conversation with the curator Rob Storr and an essay by Gianni Jetzer.
It also documents a master class held by the artist in St. Gallen and contains previously unpublished images.
