A pioneer of textile modernism
Sheila Hicks has made wool, linen, and silk her central media, pushing the boundaries of traditional textile art. Her works combine color, 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, 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 It also documents a master class held by the artist in St. Gallen and contains previously unpublished images.
Sheila Hicks (*1934 in Hastings, Nebraska) studied art at Yale University under Josef Albers. She discovered her passion for textiles while traveling through South America. In the 1960s, she established herself in Paris and created large-scale installations that combined color, form, and material. Hicks is considered a pioneer of conceptual art with textiles and exhibits in renowned museums worldwide. She lives in Paris.
