Artspace & Phaidon, in partnership with Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, are pleased to announce Untitled 2021, a new limited edition by Huma Bhabha. Created exclusively to benefit MOCA through a unique Artspace editions initiative, proceeds from the sale of Untitled, 2021 will support programming at the museum for the coming year.

For me, ghastly and horror mean sophisticated and beautiful.

— Huma Bhabha

Huma Bhabha’s multivalent practice spans sculpture, prints and drawings and often incorporates photographic and collage elements to create an arresting experience of the figurative form. Created exclusively for this MOCA benefit edition, Untitled, 2021 coalesces numerous layers of painting and drawing atop an original black and white print proof. Bhabha’s frequent investigation of the portrait bust as seen here—centering pulsing, alien, humanoid heads—compels viewers to consider humanity, beauty and otherness from an entirely new and nuanced perspective.
