Pull with a Direction presents a crucial new chapter in a career that has come to renewed critical and public attention in the past decade. Considered a pioneer of geometric and linear abstraction, Mohamedi gained recognition for the singularity of her artistic vocabulary, which evolved ceaselessly throughout her career. She created an oeuvre known for its unique vision and precise, austere form. A generous teacher, known for the asceticism and devotion of her style of living as of creating, Nasreen has become a critical figure for the generations of artists who followed her.

Nasreen Mohamedi was born in 1937 in Karachi, India and passed away in 1990 in Kihim, India. Since her first solo outside of India at Talwar, New York in 2003, Mohamedi has been featured in numerous museum exhibitions worldwide. Mohamedi has been the subject of solo presentations at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET Breuer), New York (2016); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain (2015); Tate, Liverpool, UK (2014); Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, India (2013) and The Drawing Center, New York (2005). Mohamedi’s works have also been on view at Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, NY; Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, Australia; Documenta XII, Kassel, Germany; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Harvard University Art Museum, Cambridge, MA; Institute of Arab and Islamic Art, NY; Fotomuseum, Winterthur, Switzerland; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; Philadelphia Museum of Art, PA; Nelson-Atkins Museum, Kansas City, MO; and Whitechapel Gallery, London. This is Mohamedi’s fourth solo exhibition at Talwar.
