Collection of the Artist

Acquired directly from the above by the present owner

“But are Caland’s works actually erotic? Undoubtedly. And yet they demystify eroticism by embracing an astonishingly diverse array of bodies – without pretentiousness, without artifice. These are imperfect bodies caught in perfect bliss.”


Negar Azimi, ‘Going to Pieces’, in Aram Moshayedi, Ed., Huguette Caland: Everything Takes the Shape of a Person, 1970-78, Milan, Rome, Paris and New York, 2017, p 18
