Ethel Adnan. A new measure of light

Exhibition October 8, 2021 − January 10, 2022
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum invites you to visit the exhibition "Ethel Adnan. A New Measure of Light.".

The exhibition features paintings and drawings by the artist and prominent journalist, author of one of the most influential works in the Arab world.

"Ethel Adnan's paintings play a role for viewers similar to the role that old icons played for people who believed. They exude energy and give energy. They protect you like talismans. They help you live your daily life." Paintings and drawings are powerful visualizations of the feelings of memory and moment-to-moment perception that shape inner life. Adnan is unwavering in her critique of war and social injustice, and her visual art is a highly personal embodiment of her belief in the human spirit and the beauty of the natural world.
