DAVIS & LANGDALE COMPANY, 231 EAST 60TH STREET, NEW YORK, established in 1952, announces its forthcoming exhibition:

SHEILA HICKS: ODE TO ROY DAVIS

beginning on Saturday, October 17 and continuing through Wednesday, December 23, 2015. A reception for the artist will be held on Tuesday, October 20, from 5 until 7pm.

The exhibition will consist of 13 minimes, or small weavings, created by SHEILA HICKS during 2014 – 2015 in honor of Roy Davis, founder of Davis & Langdale Company, who died in October 2014 at the age of 91.

Concurrent with the Davis & Langdale exhibition, Sikkema Jenkins & Co., 530 West 22 Street, New York 10011, will present SHEILA HICKS’ reinterpretation of The Treaty of Chromatic Zones, 2015, a monumental bas-relief wall installation created for Art Basel Unlimited 2015. That show’s dates are October 22 – November 28.

Among HICKS’ recent museum exhibitions were those at the Hayward Gallery, London (Foray into Chromatic Zones); and the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (Baoli, a large scale installation). Presently she is the subject of exhibitions at the Contemporary Art Museum, St Louis; and at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, Munich (Atterrissage). Her Pillar of Inquiry/Supple Column, was arguably the star of the 2014 Whitney Biennial and has since been acquired by the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Forthcoming shows include Threads of Life at the Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska; and a major retrospective at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, in 2017.
