Exhibition catalog. March-May 2016. Opened in 2016, Phantom Limb marked Diana Al-Hadid’s first solo exhibition in the Arab world, and was among her largest exhibitions to date at the time. Her towering sculptures, spectral wall pieces, and surreal bronzes filled our 7,000 square foot gallery. Visitors could hear the artist discussing her work in a detailed audio guide (linked below). This was exhibition also marked the first commission of an exhibition guide for young people, illustrated by a local artist (also linked below) — this “youth guide” has become a core part of our exhibition offerings. To accompany the exhibition, NYUAD Art Gallery and Skira-Rizzoli published a scholarly monograph, with texts by curator Sara Raza, and art historians Alistair Rider (University of St. Andrews), and Reindert Falkenburg (NYU Abu Dhabi).
