Ghada Amer is celebrated for her vibrant, erotically charged embroidered canvases that reclaim and celebrate female sexuality. Through the delicate, traditionally feminine medium of threadwork, Amer weaves sensual figures into kaleidoscopic compositions that merge intimacy, strength, and empowerment. Her work asserts that women should take joy in their bodies and embrace their seductive power—a conviction that resonates across her expansive multimedia practice, which includes sculpture, ceramics, works on paper, and mixed-media installations.Amer has exhibited internationally, with major shows in New York, Berlin, Tokyo, Paris, Cape Town, Amsterdam, and Abu Dhabi. Her art commands strong demand on the secondary market, with prices reaching six figures, and is held in the collections of leading institutions such as Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Barjeel Art Foundation, the Brooklyn Museum, the Centre Pompidou, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and the Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art.
