Vitamin T: Threads and Textiles in Contemporary Art

Vitamin T: Threads and Textiles in Contemporary Art, published by Phaidon, takes you on a journey to the intersection between craft and contemporary art. The beautifully illustrated book introduces more than 100 artists who are famous for using different forms of textile art in their works, such as embroidery, weaving and knitting. The introduction is written by Jenelle Porter, a curator at ICA Philadelphia and an expert in modern arts and crafts.

Celebrating tapestry, embroidery, stitching, textiles, knitting, and knotting as used by visual artists worldwide, Vitamin T is the latest in the celebrated series in which leading curators, critics, and art professionals nominate living artists for inclusion. As boundaries between art and craft have blurred, artists have increasingly embraced these materials and methods, with the resulting works being coveted by collectors and exhibited in museums worldwide. Vitamin T is a vibrant and incredibly timely survey – the first of its kind.
