Fraenkel Gallery present an exhibition by Sophie Calle. For more than forty years Calle has made work that draws from her life, transforming elements from her public and private relationships into intimate narratives. The exhibition features several series exploring questions about legacy and loss, topics Calle approaches with her typical humor and candor. Each piece pairs fragments from the project with Sophie Calle’s text about its failure. Another series, Picassos in lockdown, comprises photographs Calle made at the Musée National Picasso in Paris during the pandemic. Each shows a painting covered for protection while the museum was closed. The exhibition also features a selection of works looking at death and remembrance through the lens of artist’s relationship with her parents.
