Art Now: Raqib Shaw
07 October—17 December 2006
Millbank, London
In October 2006 Raqib Shaw exhibited as part of Tate’s Art Now, a series of exhibitions at Tate Britain focusing on new work by emerging artists. For his exhibition Shaw took as inspiration the work of Hans Holbein a Sixteenth Century German artist and printmaker. It was Hans Holbein’s painting The Ambassadors that Shaw first encountered on arriving in London from Kashmir at the tender age of sixteen.
