Zaha's moment


The high priestess of architecture has a new two-venue installation series opening tomorrow in New York. The installations derive from Hadid's large-scale projects, from a desk referencing her Opera House at the Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Centre to more abstract constructions that draw on her city-planning work in Istanbul. They're business as usual for the curve-loving, larger-than-life Pritzker-winner, whose hand can also currently be seen in the Big Apple at Chanel's purse-inspired Mobile Art Pavilion. The Kaiser's a big fan, but if batting aside endless queues of daffy socials isn't your idea of a fun Saturday afternoon, the Chelsea galleries may just be the perfect alternative.
Zaha Hadid opens tomorrow at Sonnabend Gallery, 536 W. 22nd St. and 169 Tenth Ave., NYC, (212) 627-1018, artnet.com
