On Monday it was announced that the artist Zarina Hashmi (1937–2020) had died in London at the age of 83 after a long illness. After a first degree in mathematics from Aligarh Muslim University, the printmaker, who preferred to be known by her first name, studied at Stanley Hayter’s Atelier 17 in Paris in the mid 1960s and moved to New York in 1975. Her best-known work is Home is a Foreign Place (1999), a series of 36 woodblock prints reflecting her frequent moves around the world. She represented India at the Venice Biennale in 2011 and had a retrospective at the Hammer Museum, the Guggenheim and Art Institute of Chicago.
