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. Text: Hendrik Folkerts Adam Szymczyk Gespräch zwischen Jeanette Pacher
und Vivian Suter.
