Richly illustrated volume exploring the inseparable histories of modernist abstraction and twentieth-century textiles.   Published on the occasion of an exhibition curated by Lynne Cooke, Woven Histories offers a fresh and authoritative look at textiles—particularly weaving—as a major force in the evolution of abstraction. This richly illustrated volume features more than fifty creators whose work crosses divisions and hierarchies formerly segregating the fine arts from the applied arts and handicrafts.   Woven Histories begins in the early twentieth century, rooting the abstract art of Sophie Taeuber-Arp in the applied arts and handicrafts, then features the interdisciplinary practices of Anni Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Liubov Popova, Varvara Stepanova, and others who sought to effect social change through fabrics for furnishings and apparel. Over the century, the intersection of textiles and abstraction engaged artists from Ed Rossbach, Kay Sekimachi, Ruth Asawa, Lenore Tawney, and Sheila Hicks to Rosemarie Trockel, Ellen Lesperance, Jeffrey Gibson, Igshaan Adams, and Liz Collins, whose textile-based works continue to shape this discourse. Including essays by distinguished art historians as well as reflections from contemporary artists, this ambitious project traces the intertwined histories of textiles and abstraction as vehicles through which artists probe urgent issues of our time.

Sheila Hicks - a little bit of a lot of things: St. Gallen (CH) bis 14.05.2023

Sheila Hicks’ (*1934 Hastings, Nebraska) Erfindungsreichtum ist unermesslich. Die in Paris lebende Amerikanerin spielt mit Naturmaterialien in atemberaubenden Farben. Aus Wolle, Leinen oder Seide knüpft, webt oder spinnt sie immer wieder neue Formen. Dabei ist die Künstlerin zum einen durch ihr Malerei-­Studium bei Bauhausmeister Josef Albers an der Yale University von der Moderne beeinflusst.…
