This sample proposes a new and original interpretation of the work of Sheila Hicks, allowing to appreciate approximately 120 pieces made at different times: textiles, painting, photography and documentary material, including works that have not been exposed for decades, some of them made in Mexico in the 1960s, which will provide a broad panorama of their artistic work, while at the same time highlighting their Latin American roots and influences.
