ZAHA HADID (Serpentine Sackler Gallery)

8 Dec 2016-12 Feb 2017

Overview

Zaha Hadid (1950-2016) is widely regarded as a pioneering and visionary architect whose contribution to the world of architecture cannot be overstated. She was also an accomplished artist and highly skilled calligrapher, influenced by Malevich, Tatlin and Rodchenko. In an exhibition, first conceived with the artist before her passing, Serpentine Galleries presents her rarely seen paintings, drawings – including calligraphy drawings which would later be transformed into architecture – and her visionary digital visual work, all of which echo the lightness and weightlessness of her buildings.
