    It took me 20 years to get a solo museum show in NYC & not only did it sell out many times it proved to be a game changer for packing in simultaneously a new & diverse audience. Other Museums should take note esp those seeking engagement beyond an insular artworld

    "Accidental Gods is Anna Della Subin’s first book, and it is phenomenal — erudite, provocative, scandalous, and comic and tragic by turns. Her subject is how humans (mostly, she notes, men) get turned into gods."

    4. “Shahzia Sikander: Extraordinary Realities” at the was an incredibly rich, beautiful show that forced the viewer to question so many given dichotomies, most importantly the fiction of East vs. West. is one of the best.

    Last week, I saw a sculpture become a god. Stolen in 1984, the deity Lakshmi-Narayan spent decades as a work of art at an American museum before it returned to its shrine in Nepal. My story is up now at - here's a thread with more of my photos.

    Shahzia Sikander's drawing “Much Maligned Monsters II." entangles a partially clad Eastern Hindu Devata (deity) with a nude Greco-Roman Venus. “Promiscuous Intimacies” (2020), the artist’s sculptural debut, elevates this composition into a patinated bronze.

    “Extraordinary Realities”book-Best Of 2021! “Rich with essays &conversations it follows her training in Pakistan, move to the U.S. in 1993 & navigation of U.S. social & racial realities..It proves instructive to re-examine those yrs through Sikander’s keen grasp&artistic choices”

    In a lockdown year, with travel reduced, there was no movable feast quite like an art book. Check out our critics’ favorites from this year’s crop.
