Overview
The first comprehensive study on the work of famed sculptor Huma Bhabha
Huma Bhabha is a Karachi-born, New York-based artist known for her sculptures depicting the strangeness and vulnerability of the contemporary figure. Bhabha’s hybridized forms, which exist at the intersection between ancient and modern art, are conspicuous for their pathos, humor, and ability to address some of the most sensitive issues of our time. Posing questions about the alien qualities of unfamiliar beings, and the criteria by which lifeforms are considered monsters, Bhabha’s sculptures are defined by a sense of timelessness and technical mastery.
This eagerly anticipated monograph, created in close collaboration with the artist, reveals the breadth and impact of Bhabha’s work. Part of Phaidon’s acclaimed Contemporary Artists Series, the book includes a conversation with the artist; text contributions from writers and experts including Shanay Jhaveri, Dan Nadel, and Danielle Shang; a studio visit with specially commissioned photography by Jason Schmidt; and a comprehensive chronology of Bhabha’s career.
