From April 2 to May 31 2009 the Fundación MAPFRE in Madrid presented a twenty-year survey of Fazal Sheikh’s work, curated by Carlos Gollonet, at the foundation’s galleries in the Avenida General Perón.

The exhibition was accompanied by a 330-page hardback catalogue, which includes many of the images from the exhibition and essays by Carlos Gollonet, Eduardo Cadava and Liz Jobey.
