Huguette Caland (Beirut, 1931–2019) explores in her work eroticism and subjectivity through sinuous lines and organic forms. The daughter of Lebanon’s first post-independence president, she moved to Paris in 1970 and immersed herself in the city’s bohemian art scene, collaborating with Pierre Cardin on a series of caftans. After the death of sculptor George Apostu, her close artistic partner, she relocated to Los Angeles, where she continued her practice. Her work gained renewed recognition through exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou (2012), Venice Biennale (2017), and Tate St. Ives (2019). Her work is held in collections such as the British Museum (London), Centre Pompidou (Paris), LACMA (Los Angeles), and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
