This exhibition marks the first institutional solo show in France for Swiss artist Anna Sommer, winner of the 2024 Max and Moritz Prize. Sommer presents a subjective dialogue between her own paper-cut works and selected pieces from the collections of the Musée Tomi Ungerer and other Strasbourg museums.
With 'On the Wing', the Musée Tomi Ungerer presents a comprehensive look at the career of Swiss artist Anna Sommer. Known for her unique storytelling style, Sommer utilizes delicate paper cutting to dissect human relationships, identity, and desire. Her works—ranging from collages to graphic novels—are characterized by a precision that creates a distinct interplay between humor and melancholy. In this 'carte blanche' exhibition, Sommer explores the collections of the Musée Tomi Ungerer, placing her own works in conversation with drawings by Tomi Ungerer, Borislav Sajtinac, Marcelle Cahn, Käthe Kollwitz, and Ukiyo-e masters like Toshusaï Sharaku and Kitagawa Utamaro. This artistic intervention highlights formal, narrative, and poetic resonances across different eras and styles, offering visitors a fresh perspective on the museum's holdings while introducing new pieces into the collection.
General admission is €7.50, with a reduced rate of €3.50. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00, and is closed on Mondays.
