Wassef Boutros-Ghali: A Retrospective & Book Launch

Born in Cairo, Wassef Boutros-Ghali’s artistic journey began with a fascination for architectural precision, a legacy shaped by his family’s role in international politics. This October, the Leila Heller Gallery in New York presents a comprehensive retrospective spanning from 1965 to 2016, showcasing a remarkable body of work. The exhibition coincides with the launch of a meticulously curated catalogue raisonné, a significant contribution to the artist’s legacy. Boutros-Ghali masterfully blends architectural rigor with a deeply intuitive painterly style, creating canvases that resonate with both order and emotion. The collection reveals a consistent dialogue between geometric forms and expressive brushstrokes, reflecting a unique artistic vision. This extensive presentation offers a rare opportunity to witness the evolution of an artist whose work is gaining international recognition. The exhibition runs from October 3rd, 2025, through August 31st, 2026.
