Summary: I Thought the Streets Were Paved with Gold is the first solo exhibition in the Middle East of works by late Philippine-American artist Pacita Abad. The show brings together exuberant signature works – from her colorful trapunto embroideries to major paintings, with a focus on four main bodies of work including Masks and Spirits series (1979 - 1991), the Immigrant Experience (1983-1995), the Door to Life series (1998-2003) and abstract works (1985-2002) – that together span abstraction to social realism, taking the exhibition visitor on a compelling journey from Manila to Hong Kong, via New York, Sanaa and beyond. The exhibition is accompanied by a public programme, publication and a range of free Tagalog resources online.
