Description
Discover the life and work of Suzanne Perlman, an émigré artist whose art spans continents and movements
>
Published in collaboration with The Estate of Suzanne Perlman, the book brings together leading curators, academics, and critics to explore the full range of Perlman's oeuvre and life. It includes essays, an archival interview, and over 150 colour images.
Through these contributions, the book examines key themes in Perlman's work: her deep-rooted engagement with place, her expressive depictions of everyday life, and her quietly radical artistic independence. It situates her not only as an émigré artist shaped by displacement and resilience, but as a timeless example of creative freedom-one whose work invites renewed attention across generations and geographies.
