Ghada Amer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghada Amer (born 1963) is an Egyptian-born artist. She emigrated from her birth country as a student and was educated in Paris and Nice.[1] Much of her work displays female nudes engaged in sexual acts as a subtext to apparently abstract art.[2]
She displayed in the Venice Biennale in 1999.[3] She is the first Arab artist to have a one-person exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.[4] A detail of her work, "Knotty but Nice" was used on the cover of the September 2006 cover of ARTnews magazine, as part of a focus on erotic art.[5] She has also had solo shows in Manhattan.[6]
