To echo the exhibition entitled Ma pensée sérielle (My Serial Thought), which is dedicated to her from 17/02/2023 to 14/05/2023 at the Palais de Tokyo, Abraham & Wolff is honouring the work of the Swiss artist Miriam Cahn by exhibiting a selection of previously unseen works as well as one of her drawing books dating from 1978.

Whether it is a flower in a glass of water, a figure with a stunned look, a bombing scene, a road winding through the hills, a series of ghostly faces or scans of the artist’s photographic and sculptural work, this ensemble reveals the multiple facets of a work haunted by socio-political violence, media images and feminist issues.
