Sophie Calle

Since the late 1970s, Sophie Calle (b. 1953) has made work that investigates provocative and often controversial methods for confronting her emotional and psychological life. Her work has been shown in international venues including Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture (San Francisco), the Institute of Contemporary Art (Boston), the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Whitechapel Art Gallery (London), the Museum Boymans van Beuningen (Rotterdam), the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebæk), and the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art (Tokyo). Calle has a major one-person exhibition at Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in Paris, opening October 2017. Her twenty-five yearlong public installation, entitled Here Lie the Secrets of the Visitors of Green-Wood Cemetery, is currently on view at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. Sophie Calle was the recipient of the 2010 Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography and the International Center of Photography’s 2017 Infinity Award for Art.
