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 appliqué – 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.
