Sheila Hicks: Ich habe mich nie als Künstlerin gesehen
Christoph Amend, Zeit Magazin
August 2023
We’re actually scheduled to meet Sheila Hicks that day in Paris to talk about her life, but she brings up another topic first: “Do you want to know where you are?” Sheila Hicks, 89, wears her gray hair half-length with red lipstick. She has been making art for over sixty years.
Her works are as abstract as many of Gerhard Richter’s works - only they are made of textiles , a material that has long been neglected in the art world. That has changed in the last ten years: Hicks has been honored with major exhibitions at the Tate Modern in London and the Center Pompidou in Paris.
