Siri Derkert (1888-1973) was arguably one of the most important modernist artists in Sweden. Her strong stance on women’s rights, environmental protection and peace, as well as her experimental approach to materials, make her work still highly relevant today.
Derkert’s life and work spanned most of the 20th century – a period of profound social and cultural change that was reflected in her artistic development, particularly in terms of subject matter, technique and expression.
Before the First World War, Derket also lived briefly in Paris, where she met the Parisian artistic avant-garde and became part of a lively community of artists.
The exhibition at Andréhn-Schiptjenko, Paris will be the gallery’s fifth solo show of the artist’s work, and the first in Paris.

The gallery
Since its inception in 1991 in Stockholm, Andréhn-Schiptjenko has consistently been committed to working on an international arena and to the long-term representation of emerging and established contemporary artists from all over the world working with painting, sculpture, photography, film and digital media as well as performance, installation-based and site-specific work.
As a way of expanding the gallery’s international scope and to accommodate for collaborative and multidisciplinary projects, a second space opened in Paris in the spring of 2019, allowing for a closer relationship with the gallery’s international network.
