Exceptional because of its size, this unique exhibition will bring together nearly a hundred works, from the 1980s to the present day. Two sculptures will welcome visitors in the outer courtyards of the Monnaie de Paris and the exhibition will be spread over two levels, more than 1000m2 - especially in the heart of the historic lounges on the Seine.0The course will lead through the major themes of the artist's work, among which the human body, the female figures and the symbiosis with nature compose recurring motifs. The works presented at the Monnaie de Paris will reflect the great diversity of the practice of Kiki Smith, which explores many mediums: bronze, plaster, glass, porcelain, tapestry, paper, or wax.0Kiki Smith's art is symbolically nourished by memories of her childhood - from Grimm's and Perrault's tales to the modeling work done for her father, sculptor Tony Smith. All of her work is marked by her fascination with the human body, which she first represents in a fragmented way, the skin appearing as a fragile border with the world.00Exhibition: Monnaie de Paris, France (18.10.2019-02.02.2020).
