On the exhibition:
Featuring approximately 150 drawings, paintings, sculptures and textiles alongside archival materials and ephemera, Huguette Caland: A Life in a Few Lines presents an artist deeply connected to community, communication, and the idea of home. It also reveals her defiance of social and sexual norms in sensual and vibrant works that explore notions of humor, language, gender, aging, and physicality.
Lebanese by birth, French by marriage, and American by choice, Huguette Caland(1931–2019) spent her last decades in Venice, California, where she engaged with leading artists even as she struggled to establish her own artistic standing. Caland’s work reached wider audiences following her inclusion in the Hammer Museum’s biennial exhibition Made in L.A. 2016: a, the, though, only, which helped (re)introduce her to a global art world where her oeuvre quickly found footing.
