This catalogue accompanies Russian artist Timur Novikov's exhibition at Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, 13 February - 21 April 2013, which has been co-curated by his step-daughter Masha Novikova-Savelyeva. Very influential in Russia during the 1980s and 1990s, Novikov (1958-2002) is best known for his distinct style of applique - whereby fabric motifs are sewn onto larger pieces of cloth - at once formally simple and beguiling. This book contains his fabric works, ink drawings and film stills from his extensive oeuvre. Includes texts by Jonathan Watkins and Timur Novikov.
