Huma Bhabha

Huma Bhabha is a Pakistani-American sculptor living and working in Poughkeepsie, New York. Her imposing, fragmented figures draw upon representations of the human form from the Paleolithic to present, generating amalgamations of time and place. She considers the comparisons between found and manmade materials in her work, often using bronze for her large-scale figural sculptures.

Bhabha was born in Karachi, Pakistan and came to the United States to study at the Rhode Island School of Design (BA 1985) and Columbia University (MFA 1989). Her works are collected and exhibited internationally; institutions include, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In 2018, she was selected for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Cantor Roof Garden Commission.
