'Eva Branscome reaches beyond architectural history into the realms of art history and social history. It is a brilliant and overdue account that also explains the great love of younger artists and architects for this remarkable building today.'
– Suzanne Titz, Director Museum Abteiberg

'Rosenfeld reflects the breadth of Sikander’s achievement, mining her critical reflection on disparate cultural traditions & her engagement with diverse & potent contemporary & historical subjects, while emphasising her consistent formal rigour & technical prowess across many media.' – Ben Luke

'Shahzia Sikander is one of the most groundbreaking artists working today, subverting tradition and art history through women’s narratives.'
– Katy Hessel, author of The Story of Art Without Men
