Miriam Cahn

Aus der Serie: 8 Tage 13.10.–15.11.2016

In her pictorial worlds, Swiss artist Miriam Cahn (b. 1949 in Basel, lives and works in Stampa, Switzerland) anticipates the dissolution of social norms and opposes the traditional staging of femininity and gender roles. The edition consists of two motifs rendered using a high quality printing technique on laid paper, which are almost indistinguishable from original works. It was created as part of the publication MEINEJUDEN, which was released on the occasion Cahn being awarded the 14th Rubens Prize of the City of Siegen.

Another edition, from the series: 8 Tage 13.10–15.11.2016 (8 days 13.10.–15.11.2016) features the kind of shadowy heads typical of Cahn’s oeuvre: an intimate scene in which the abstractly depicted people are close, possibly whispering something to each other—rendered on canvas in Cahn’s effortlessly incisive style.
