Samia Halaby (b. 1936) is widely recognised as a pioneer in twentieth-century abstraction and computer-generated art. The publication will bring together approximately thirty-five of Halaby’s paintings, prints and drawings in the first-ever American survey of her work.

description
Rather than presenting a chronological development of her artistic approach to abstraction, the catalogue will examine formal and thematic relationships across bodies of work, considering simultaneously the influence of Halaby’s time spent in the Midwest, her years of teaching and her analytic approach to generating forms, both on canvas and in computer code. Halaby’s current explorations in large-scale painting will be examined alongside her earliest forays into abstraction, with examples of her prolific drawing practice permeating throughout. Significantly, her kinetic paintings will demonstrate the development of abstract forms into moving compositions of colour and texture.
press commentaries
The catalogue offers a valuable survey of the multi-decade career of this important, unabashedly outspoken female artist.
