The turbulent biography of Elisabeth Wild reads like a recap of the twentieth century. Marked by flight and displacement, national identification and disidentification, her life seemed constantly to hit the reset button. This is not least evident in her oeuvre, which is highly diverse in terms of the media she used-including painting, sculpture, and textile design as well as collages and subsequent installations. The catalogue accompanies her first retrospective exhibition, turning the spotlight on her late works as well as her previously unknown early works.
