Sheila Hicks: Grace, No Gridlock
Past exhibition
Overview
For this exhibition, Hicks has invited Paolo Roversi to present his photographs, the result of a collaboration between the two artists. Roversi’s images of Hicks’ works have been specially lit by Stéphane Henry and emerge out of darkness. Both Roversi’s carbon prints and Hicks’ Cordes Sauvages interact with mysterious energy.
For the new year 2022 and prior to the end of her exhibition on January 22, Sheila Hicks has invited Massimo Minini to present 14 works created especially from Brescia (Italy) where he lives.
Massimo Minini has combined his own photographs with textiles of various cultures from his collection. This series exhibited in special vitrines made by Stéphane Henry is a grande première.

Sheila Hicks, born in Hastings, Nebraska, has lived and worked in Paris since 1964. She has chosen textiles as her favored medium through a body of work that defies traditional artistic categories. A painting student of Josef Albers at Yale in the late 1950s, she spent several seminal years investigating South American and Mexican indigenous cultures.
Sheila Hicks’ work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the MAK in Vienna, Austria; the Dallas Museum of Art and the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, Texas; the Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino in Santiago, Chile; the Centre Pompidou in Paris, France. Her works are represented in the most important collections throughout the world: in Paris, Centre Pompidou, Fondation Louis Vuitton, and Musée d’Art Moderne; Tate Modern, London; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.; in New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art; Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Philadelphia Museum of Art; The Art Institute of Chicago; Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.
