Ghada Amer
(born in Cairo, Egypt in 1963)
Untitled, signed and dated Ghada Amer 93 on the overlap, embroidery on canvas, 100 x 100 cm, on stretcher, in plexiglas
Provenance:
Galerie Martina Detterer, Frankfurt am Main
Acquired from the above in 1995
In Amer’s well-known erotic embroideries, she at once rejects oppressive laws set in place to govern women’s attitudes toward their bodies and repudiates first-wave feminist theory that the body must be denied to prevent victimization.
By depicting explicit sexual acts with the delicacy of needle and thread, their significance assumes a tenderness that simple objectification ignores.
