Zaha Hadid at Ivorypress

Ivorypress (Madrid, Spain) presents the exhibition Zaha Hadid: Beyond Boundaries, Art and Design, as part of the annual architecture programme celebrated each autumn, which marks the beginning of the artistic season.

The exhibition, opening on 4 September 2012, sets out a wide perspective of the artistic body of work of  the architect Zaha Hadid (Baghdad, Iraq, 1950), which reflects her personal world-view. The show, which can be visited until 3 November, offers a deep insight into Zaha Hadid’s career with almost one hundred works, which run the gamut from models and plans to installations, furniture or even domestic objects.

The selection of pieces on show includes oil paintings on canvas created by the architect in the 80s and 90s, including The World (89 Degrees) and the project for the Vitra Fire Station, created in 1983  and 1991 respectively. Zaha Hadid’s most recent production will also be present, with projects, drawings and models, such as The Peak Block 2012, which show the evolution of her work.

The work of the architect, who was the first woman to be recognised with the prestigious Pritzker Award, in 2004, goes well beyond building design, spanning drawing, painting, reliefs and installations, as well as furniture and object design.

Dates: from September 4 to November 3.
Location: Ivorypress. C/Comandante Zorita 48. Madrid, Spain.
Opening hours: from Monday to Friday from 10am to 2pm and from 4.30 to 8pm. Saturdays from 11am to 2pm.
