At eight feet tall, Receiver by Huma Bhabha is an imposing and fabulously evocative sculpture, perfectly embodying the artist’s reinterpretation of relics and monuments of the ancient world.
Her sublime sculptures look to reimagine the power historically attributed to monuments, placing works such as Receiver in the realm of what we understand as counter-monuments.
Facing Giants, Huma Bhabha’s solo show at Salon 94’s 89th Street space in New York runs until 26 June.
