The 11 Conti – Monnaie de Paris is proud to present the first solo show of the American artist Kiki Smith by a French public institution.

This unique collection of exceptional breadth will bring together almost one hundred works from the 1980s to the present day. The exhibition will cover the major themes of the artist’s oeuvre, including the human body, the female figure and the symbiotic relationship with nature, all of which are recurring motifs. The works to be presented at the Monnaie de Paris will reflect the great diversity of Kiki Smith’s practice, and the wide variety of media she has explored: bronze, plaster, glass, porcelain, tapestry, paper and wax.

This exhibition is in perfect line with the artistic programme directed by Camille Morineau, which is particularly attentive towards women artists, as well as sculptural practice involving the exploration of different materials and scales, from the miniature to the monumental.

Curators: Camille Morineau, Director of Exhibitions and Collections at Monnaie de Paris and Lucia Pesapane, Exhibition Curator and Head of Artistic Programming at the Monnaie de Paris. With the collaboration of Marie Chênel.
