Development

Art historian and publicist Peggie Breitbarth identified three key works in Heijnen’s oeuvre up to 2007:

  2. Gateway, 1993. This is a lane of honor made of hanging rubber, the overture to a number of large hanging works. [23]
  3. Theater curtain, 2006. This computer-operated moving work contains 9-meter-long strips of processed and gilded synthetics that cover a 144-square-meter stage opening and a frieze. It introduces the time factor in Heijnen’s work. [23] [24]

Textile historian and curator Mary Schoeser wrote in 2012 the book The art of mankind in which 3 works of Sibyl Heijnen are referenced. Published by Thames and Hudson.
