Exhibition
Between Ecstasy and Self-Determination
Female Perspectives in the Art of Dorothy Iannone, Niki de Saint Phalle and Sarah Pucci
September 27, 2025 to January 11, 2026
How does art change when women are no longer the object of depiction, but the subject of expression?
In this exhibition Dorothy Iannone, Niki de Saint Phalle and Sarah Pucci offer their own distinct and deeply personal answers to this question. Their works explore female desire, corporeality and self-empowerment, while they also raise questions about visibility, modes of expression and the standards of the art world.
