The career of Swiss-born artist Sonja Sekula (1918–1963) unfolded at both the center and the margins of surrealist and abstract expressionist circles in Europe and North America. Despite an early diagnosis of mental illness and periods of hospitalization throughout her career, Sekula achieved success as an artist, finding community among some of the most notable art-world figures of her time while forging her own path. The exhibition, co-curated by Professor of Art History Jenny Anger and Associate Director Daniel Strong, will travel to The Gund at Kenyon College in the second half of 2026.
