Shirley Jaffe
The exhibition
A Tribute to Shirley Jaffe
Shirley Jaffe possesses a very distinctive way of engaging with the surface. Neither explosive lyricism nor rigid geometry: her painting occupies a space between the two, one that never settles. Ten years after her passing, Galerie Nathalie Obadia pays tribute to her through an exhibition that does not trace a linear evolution, but reveals a body of work that is constantly shifting. Now firmly established in museum collections, she was the subject of an exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in 2022, confirming the institutional recognition of her work.
