Sophie Calle

Perrotin New York is pleased to present Behind the Curtain by Sophie Calle, an exhibition that disrupts conventional ideas of perception. In 2023, Calle became the first artist to take over the Picasso Museum galleries in Paris. Behind the Curtain will include two series on Picasso’s most emblematic paintings. Also on view, In Memory of Frank Gehry's Flowers imagines a memorial in honor of the renowned architect, and Calle's Parce que series pairs photographs and poems that disrupt traditional processing of information.

Concurrently, Sophie Calle is presenting an exhibition at Paula Cooper Gallery in New York titled Sophie Calle: On the Hunt.
