Summary: | "The TextielMuseum is pleased to announce a major retrospective of American artist and textile pioneer Sheila Hicks (1934). Internationally renowned, thanks to her participation in numerous large solo and group exhibitions, this is her first appearance in the Netherlands for many years. Her colourful work, which ranges from monumental textile installations to metre-high sculptures and enchanting miniatures, has been making waves since the late 1950s. A varied selection of this free work is on display, along with examples of her textile designs - both for hand woven and industrial production. Attention is also be paid to the artist's special and long term privileged relationship with the Netherlands. Photos, films, sketches, drawings and personal documents illustrate her peripatetic and productive life. Sheila Hicks, Why Not? includes work spanning seven decades loaned by both national and internationals museums. New works have been created especially for the TextielMuseum"--Publisher's description.
