本书于2006年首次出版，研究了艺术家希拉·希克斯（Sheila Hicks）在五十年间创作的小型编织纺织作品。该书聚焦于公共和私人收藏的约一百件微型挂毯，展示了希克斯对编织传统的俏皮颠覆，对色彩奥秘的持续探究，对材料的惊人选择，以及对新技术的探索。本书由伊尔玛·博姆（Irma Boom）设计，在2007年莱比锡书展上被评为“世界上最漂亮的书”，包括阿瑟·C·丹托（Arthur C. Danto）、琼·西蒙（Joan Simon）和尼娜·斯特里茨勒·莱文（Nina Stritzler-Levine）的文章，以及艺术家工作工具的插图、相关图纸、照片和年表。

First published in 2006, this book examines the small woven textile works produced by artist Sheila Hicks (b. 1934) over a fifty-

year period. Focusing on some one hundred miniature tapestries from public and private collections, the book demonstrates the breadth of Hicks's concerns: her playful subversions of weaving traditions, her persistent inquiry into the mysteries of color, her surprising range of materials, and her exploration of new technology. The volume, designed by Irma Boom and named “the most beautiful book in the world” at the 2007 Leipzig Book Fair, includes essays by Arthur C. Danto, Joan Simon, and Nina Stritzler-Levine as well as illustrations of the artist’s working tools, related drawings, photographs, and chronology.
