exhibition · 2026-04-23

The Museum der Moderne in Salzburg presented a solo exhibition of Etel Adnan's work from November 15, 2014, to March 8, 2015. Concurrently, Yvon Lambert published a final book titled "Dans la forêt d'Etel A..." featuring the artist's dynamic ink drawings and sharp aphorisms. This publication coincided with Lambert's decision to close his gallery and bookstore. Adnan's poetic connection to earthly elements was highlighted through her visual and literary output. The exhibition showcased her multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, writing, and drawing. Lambert's book served as a concluding tribute to their collaborative relationship. The show offered Austrian audiences comprehensive access to Adnan's artistic universe. It ran for nearly four months at the Salzburg institution.
