Audrey Guttman

Multidisciplinary artist

Belgian multidisciplinary artist Audrey Guttman lives and works in Paris. She develops a poetics of the image in which interiority is reflected in works that interweave the vocabulary of collage, installation, photography and poetry. Audrey Guttman has notably exhibited in prestigious venues such as Christie's Paris and Galerie Nathalie Obadia in Brussels, as part of a collaboration with the Ketabi Bourdet gallery, which represents her. She draws on her training in art history, literature and philosophy to create multi-layered works that resonate on both an emotional and intellectual level. Her mastery of cyanotype, ingenious use of found materials and technical layering transform the ordinary into meditations on beauty, identity and consciousness. Her unique approach creates immersive experiences that dissolve the boundaries between inner and outer worlds. Solo exhibitions, including one celebrating the centenary of Surrealism at Christie's Paris, and installations in Geneva, Brussels and Paris, have consolidated her reputation as a singular contemporary artist, renowned for her poetic sensibility and conceptual depth.

My favorites from this edition are three remarkable artists: two are Belgian, the third French—but let’s grant her honorary citizenship on the spot.
Marianne Berenhaut at Dvir: immense, heartrending; far too little known given her significance and talent.
Sophie Whettnall at Michel Rein: eloquent in whispers, in near-nothings, in the ultra-subtle.
And finally, Sophie Calle at Perrotin: mischievous archivist of failure, choreographer of the invisible—she too works with what wasn’t, or couldn’t be.

These three light the way. Like them, let’s look sideways, slow our pace, allow other stories to emerge.

One extra recommendation: Liliana Porter, whose work I can’t wait to see at Mor Charpentier, after being captivated by her Borgesian installation at Dia Bridgehampton.

Enjoy your wandering!
