The MoMA's tribute to Zaha Hadid

The Museum of Modern Art has just put up a small tribute exhibition of the drawings of Zaha Hadid. It foregrounds her powerful image making and evocative and personal drawing style—the most influential of her generation. The tribute includes an exterior painted perspective of her competition entry into the Peak completion (1991) in Kowloon. Next to this painting is a series of 20 colored pencil, graphite, and ink hand drawings for Parc de la Villette, Paris (1982-83). These works—all from the period before her studio turned into an office—showcase working drawings that powerfully point to why she was considered such an important figure in the world of architecture. The exhibition was organized by Sean Anderson and Arièle Dionne-Krosnick of the museum’s department of architecture and design.
