Vitamin T: Threads and Textiles in Contemporary Art Hardcover – 3 April 2019

When I read some of the previous reviews I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy this book - but am I glad I did! The editors have packed a lot in to this publication and it is well worth the money. Some of the previous reviewers commented on how small some of the font is - but it's readable, and again when you see how much is in the book you'll understand why. Also, as to the images they're fine. Considering the size of many of the works shown it's incredible the editors have managed to include such clear images. Well done. If I hadn't already bought it I'd buy the book again.

Beautiful book

Having bought other "Vitamin" books (on painting, drawing and ceramics), I was happy to see another one in the series: this time on artists who use textiles and threads in really varied and inventive ways. I recognised a few names already (e.g. Grayson Perry) but a lot of them were new to me - and they are from all around the world. As ever with these books, the design and materials of the book reflects the subject: it has real threads on the spine and a cover that looks like cloth with holes to show glimpses of artworks: really clever and fun. Great introductory essay too - giving lots of the history of the medium. Highly recommended.

New book but it looks like it has been sat on someone else’s shelf for a few years. Tatty pages and front cover.

Excellent book for contemporary perspective on Textile art

The writing is abismal. I would have expected better from Phaidon. The reproductions are not vivid enough due to the Matt finish. However, a good list of contemporary textile artists

Muy expeditivo el servicio

good book

Hard to tell what the pieces actually look like from photos on mat paper- they probably look a lot different in person. The print was rather small in the articles on the artists and tiny on the piece. Did not care for the typewriter type font.
