A richly illustrated survey celebrating the unique practice of Isabella Ducrot, Italian artist born in 1931 who came to international prominence late in her career. The publication documents seventy works on paper, textile assemblages, and collages, created between 2016 and 2024 and presented at the Consortium Museum, Dijon.
Featuring essays and reflections, including a contribution by Tschabalala Self, the catalogue examines Ducrot’s deep engagement with materiality and memory. It traces the lasting influence of her formative years traveling with her late husband, during which they assembled an extensive collection of Persian miniatures, Renaissance paintings, and rare antique textiles, sources of inspiration that resonate in the delicacy and intimacy of her work.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition Isabella Ducrot: Profusione (26 April – 8 September 2024) at the Consortium Museum, Dijon.
With contributions by Franck Gautherot & Seungduk Kim, Verena Lueken, Tobias Pils, Tschabalala Self, Andrea Viliani, and Miranda Fengyuan Zhang.
