Designed in close collaboration with the American artist, the exhibition will cover almost 5,000 square feet of space to comprise her entire career, with a heavy focus on pieces produced in the early 2010s.

Curated in partnership with Sherman herself, the retrospective will run parallel alongside Crossing Views, showcasing a selection of pieces from the Fondation’s collection that echo her work. Different interpretations of the portrait through various mediums such as painting, photography, sculpture, video and installation will be explored, while featured artists include Louise Bourgeois, Damien Hirst, and Andy Warhol to name a few.
