Miriam Cahn ‘angst vor zu schön’

Popular Swiss female artist Miriam Cahn has always created works that are politically charged, informed by social trends and her feminist awakening in the 1970s. Her early works were influenced by the black and white TV she grew up with and hence the monochromatic palette. She began incorporating colour later on, accentuating important parts of her work with powerful brush strokes and contrasting colours, while also depicting motifs of people, animals, plants and buildings. Her art started to gain recognition after she created extravagant pieces on buildings and large cloths. This exhibition features seven of her most recent works and 20 more from the '90s – so you'll be able to see her growth and progression as an artist.
