Post lot text

Le langage, la poésie et l’architecture sont au cœur des préoccupations d’Agnès Thurnauer, artiste franco-suisse qui, après une formation aux Arts décoratifs de Paris, se consacre à la réécriture de certains thèmes de l’histoire en général et l’histoire des arts en particulier. Sa pratique picturale extrêmement riche est intimement liée aux lettres et aux mots, à la fois outils de fabrication et de compréhension de son œuvre. Le monde de l’art contemporain sera marqué par son engagement féministe en 2007 avec sa série Portrait Grandeur Nature, exposant les noms féminisés de grands artistes masculins. Outre les expositions collectives à l’étranger et en France dans lesquelles elle a figuré, l’artiste a notamment fait l’objet d’expositions monographiques, parmi lesquelles on retiendra Les circonstances ne sont pas atténuantes au Palais de Tokyo en 2003, Matrices chromatiques au musée de l’Orangerie en 2020 et Agnès Thurnauer, A comme Boa au LaM de Lille en 2022.

Language, poetry and architecture are at the heart of Agnès Thurnauer’s concerns. She is a Franco-Swiss artist who, after training at the Arts Décoratifs de Paris, devoted herself to the rewriting of certain themes of history in general and the history of the arts in particular. Her extremely rich pictorial practice is intimately linked to letters and words, which are both tools for making and understanding her work. The contemporary art world was marked by her feminist commitment in 2007 with her series Portrait Grandeur Nature, exhibiting the feminised names of great male artists. In addition to group exhibitions abroad and in France, the artist has been the subject of monographic exhibitions, including Les circonstances ne sont pas atténuantes at the Palais de Tokyo in 2003, Matrices chromatiques at the Musée de l'Orangerie in 2020 and Agnès Thurnauer, A comme Boa at the LaM in Lille in 2022.
