Christelle Havranek: Annette Messager: Tragikomedie, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

For over fifty years, Annette Messager (b. 1943) has worked across photography, textile, and found objects to create a world where tenderness meets unease and the familiar becomes strange. This catalog documents her first major exhibition in central Europe, Tragikomedie at Kunsthalle Praha, which brings together works from her entire career, ranging from her album collections of the early 1970s to the expansive installations of recent years. It is rich with photos of Messager's works, which have been loosely organised according to recurring themes in her art, including the transformation of everyday objects, fairy-tale parables, and critical reflections on womanhood. The catalog also contains an interview between Messager and Christelle Havranek, an essay by writer and philosopher Léa Veinstein, and an extensive curatorial introduction.
