This is the first comprehensive book dedicated to Egyptian artist Wassef Boutros Ghali, offering an in-depth exploration of his storied life, the works produced across his distinct creative phases, and his enduring artistic legacy. Spanning Cairo, Paris, and New York, Boutros-Ghali’s life and practice were shaped by cultural hybridity and political turbulence. Working privately and exhibiting selectively, he left behind a body of work that until now has remained largely unexamined. This catalogue brings coherence to that dispersed legacy, presenting a definitive timeline of his artistic evolution.
Sumayya Vally contributed an essay to this publication, which discusses Boutros Ghali's work from a spatial and architectural perspective.
