Textile Fine Art: Conversations with Artists Creating by Hand

By Helen Adams

With a foreword by Ann Coxon, former curator of International Art at Tate Modern

As artists from across the globe have pushed the boundaries of what is considered fine art, textiles have emerged as one the most vibrant and captivating areas of contemporary art. Tapestry, embroidery, quilting and a wide array of fibre arts are taking centre stage in galleries and exhibitions worldwide.

From Tracey Emin’s blankets to the immersive installations of Chiharu Shiota, via the magical realist hand-embroidery of Chiachio and Giannone and painterly stitching of Alice Kettle, this lavish volume brings together over 50 living artists all creating stunning work by hand.
