The Contemporary Art Museum of Luxembourg has announced a retrospective of Eleanor Antin, curated by Bettina Steinbrügge, opening September 26, 2025.
Eleanor Antin: A Retrospective will be on view at MUDAM from September 26, 2025 - February 2, 2026. The exhibition is organized by Mudam Luxembourg - Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean, in collaboration with the Kunstmueseum Liechtenstein.
This exhibition is the first retrospective of the artist in twenty-five years and the first ever presented in Europe. Spread over two floors of the museum, it brings together a large number of the artist’s most important works, from her early conceptual projects to her recent series of photographs.
It includes works she created in the 1970s and 1980s examining multiple identities through fictional characters that she embodied and her films, and installations of the 1990s recognising different historical moments, including Jewish history, in connection to her personal roots.
The exhibition and its accompanying publication highlight the importance of Antin’s work to younger generations of artists as well as her major contribution to emancipating the body politic and questioning gender norms, both artistic and social.
