Kiki Smith and Eduardo Chillida Solo Shows at Galerie Lelong

exhibition · 2026-05-25

Galerie Lelong is hosting solo exhibitions of works by Kiki Smith and Eduardo Chillida. Smith, a multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography, objects, stained glass, and tapestry, has developed a coherent body of work over four decades. Her diverse media reveal a unifying theme: the continuity and unity of life, linking humans, animals, and plants from the microcosm to cosmic infinity. She draws inspiration from birch trees, pigeons, the moon, the Milky Way, and literature by Lewis Carroll, Emily Dickinson, and anatomy books. This exhibition marks her tenth show at the gallery.
