Celebrates the career of an artist who traversed mediums, borders, and cultures. Etel Adnan’s creative output spanned genres and languages. An award-winning poet and novelist, her paintings and artist books began appearing in museum shows when she was already in her eighties. This exhibition catalog corresponds with the first comprehensive retrospective of Adnan’s work to be held in Germany, a collaboration between the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf and the Lenbachhaus in Munich. The volume presents work from across Adnan’s long and multifaceted career, reflecting a lifetime of exchange between the Arab and the Western worlds.
