Shahzia Sikander, Intimacy (2001) © Shahzia Sikander The Pakistani-American artist Shahzia Sikander, best-known for her miniature paintings that revive illuminated manuscript traditions from South and Central Asia, but with a contemporary feminist context, will have an exhibition this summer at The Morgan Library and Museum in New York. The show Shahzia Sikander: Extraordinary Realities (18 June-26 September) includes around 60 works from the first 15 years of Sikander’s career (1988-2003), when she started her interrogation into the colonialist impact on Islamic and South Asian pictorial traditions. The Lahore-born artist tells The Art Newspaper her practice was born from “an investigative pursuit to highlight the politics of provenance, ownership and the narration of Indian, Persian and Central Asian manuscripts, which, unlike Western medieval manuscripts, have been often deconstructed and dispersed for profit”.
