Zaha Hadid @Leila Heller


ZAHA HADID
December 8, 2016 - January 21, 2017

568 West 25th Street New York, NY 10001 USA

Known for architectural wonders world-wide, Zaha Hadad also designed furniture, vases, paintings and jewelry.
This current exhibit in Chelsea features an impeccably finished suite of furniture and vases in a wide range of materials. The work is shown to great effect: the biomorrphic shapes and luscious surfaces are accentuated by the placement and arrangement within the pristine gallery setting.

Chelsea will soon be home to a Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) building at 520 West 28th Street, adjacent to the Highline which was just voted "building of the year".
