Sophie Calle

The artist reconsiders abandoned projects and creates photographs of hidden artworks

Cale Mona Lisa (Wrong turn), 2023 (detail)

Fraenkel Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by Sophie Calle. Making its U.S. debut will be selections from Unfinished, a series focused on projects that Calle had previously begun and abandoned. The series collects photographs, handwritten notes, video excerpts, comic books, and other documents, pairing these materials with Calle’s short text describing the artwork she had originally imagined and how it came to (not) be. The exhibition will also feature a selection of photographs Calle made at the Musée National Picasso in Paris during the pandemic, depicting paintings from the museum’s collection hidden by protective sheets or coverings. The series was included in Calle’s 2023 solo exhibition at Musée National Picasso, À toi de faire, ma mignonne, and will be shown for the first time in the U.S.
