SHEILA HICKS: 50 YEARS

Thursday, March 24
6-8pm · Opening Reception · free and open to the public
5pm · Exhibition walkthrough with artist Sheila Hicks and curator Jenelle Porter. (for members only)


Sheila Hicks: 50 Years is the first major retrospective to honor this extraordinary American artist, (b. 1934 Hastings, Nebraska; lives Paris) From her earliest work of the late 1950s to the present, she has expanded definitions of painting, sculpture, design, drawing, and most critically, woven form. Throughout, her art demonstrates her keen sense of line and color, abstraction and geometry. Featuring more than 90 of her most important works, this exhibition offers insight into Hicks's work in fibers and reveals the continuities between small weavings, design commissions, free-standing sculptures, and architecturally scaled sculptures. Hicks's exceptional body of work blurs boundaries between art, design, and craft just as deftly as it crisscrosses cultures.
