Lehmann Maupin Now Represents Rana Begum, Plans Solo Exhibition in New York
The Facts
Lehmann Maupin announced its representation of Bangladeshi-British artist Rana Begum. The gallery will debut a work by Begum at its Art Basel booth, followed by her first solo exhibition in New York. Begum's recent U.S. museum debut, 'Reflection,' was held at the SCAD Museum of Art. She has forthcoming public commissions at Kew Gardens, Wakehurst, Towner Gallery in Eastbourne, and Climate Clock in Oulu, Finland.
The Signal
Begum's practice, rooted in geometric abstraction and influenced by Islamic art, explores light, color, and perception through industrial materials. The representation aligns with Lehmann Maupin's program of women artists engaging with materiality and light, including Teresita Fernández, Liza Lou, and Shirazeh Houshiary. This signals the gallery's continued investment in global contemporary perspectives and the growing institutional recognition of Begum's work, which is held in collections such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Ashmolean Museum.
