Abstract

Faire vivre la couleur dans l'espace, laisser la matière s'exprimer, donner à une oeuvre plusieurs formes : voilà, depuis plus d'un demi-siècle, outre le dépassement du modèle séculaire de la tapisserie, quelques-unes des caractéristiques majeures de l'art de Sheila Hicks. Des sculptures monumentales à la fascinante série des tissages miniatures, l'admiratrice des textiles précolombiens a édifié, au fil des années, une oeuvre ouverte, vivante et colorée.0Publié à l'occasion de la rétrospective "Sheila Hicks. Ligne de vie" au Centre Pompidou, du 7 février au 30 avril 2018, cet ouvrage éclaire l'esthétique et la trajectoire de cette artiste unique.

Abstract

The textiles and installations of the American artist Sheila Hicks (*1934) evade traditional concepts of textile art. Hicks expands the languages of sculpture, painting, and the environment by creating new forms and dimensions. Inspired by the ideas of the Wiener Werkstätte and the Bauhaus, she dissolves the boundaries of medium and material and employs historical techniques of knotting and weaving as contemporary instruments to initiate intercultural dialogue and to create an awareness of the small deviants in grid pattern that make life interesting. With the publication Thread Trees River, the artist sketches the interplay of nature, textiles, architecture, and space through works from the entire spectrum of her art. A spectacular book object designed to perfection!

Abstract

In 2007 Irma Boom’s book Sheila Hicks: Weaving as Metaphor was named ‘Most Beautiful Book in the World’ at the Leipzig book fair. This book became a bestseller, collector’s item and exposed the textile designer to new audiences around the world. People who were never interested in textile design or Sheila Hicks’s works wanted to own this beautiful object. The success of the book caused the Museum of Modern Art in New York to include Irma Boom’s books as part of their permanent collection.
