Josef Albers Museum Quadrat Bottrop

Sheila Hicks, October 12, 2024 – February 23, 2025

‍

In the fall/winter of 2024/25, the Josef Albers Museum Quadrat Bottrop in cooperation with the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, will present the first major solo exhibition of the US-American artist Sheila Hicks (*1934) in Germany. The exhibition will present the artist's entire oeuvre, including early never been shown paintings from the 1950s. It was Sheila Hicks time as a student of Josef Albers at the Yale School of Art. Early textile works, designs for large architectural commissions and her more recent color-intensive wall objects, sculptures and installations will also be on display, complemented by sketches and materials from the artist's archive.

In the eight spacious rooms of the museum extension, the artist's work will be in direct dialogue with the works of her teacher Josef Albers.
