Ghada Amer is the first retrospective of the Franco-Egyptian artist to be held in France. Outraged by the difficulty of asserting herself as a painter in the 1980s, and even more so as a female painter, Amer developed an oeuvre of canvases, embroidered installations, sculptures and gardens, through which painting gradually asserted itself. The retrospective brings together modes of plastic expression from her beginnings to her most recent works.
