Sheila Hicks is one of the innovators who revolutionized fiber art in the 1960s. She did large, commissioned projects and designed upholstery fabric for the Knoll furniture company, but always wove miniatures on a handmade frame loom that she carried with her.
The Bard Graduate Center in NYC had a wonderful retrospective exhibition of Ms. Hicks’s work in 2006, and now twenty of her small weavings can be seen at Davis and Langdale Company in NYC, but only until 11/8. For more information, visit davisandlangdale.com/Pages/HicksF08.html
