Ruppert&#8217;s art has been mentioned here many times, she&#8217;s one of my favourite artists, so it&#8217;s great to see her receiving more recognition, and in London as well, not Paris as I would have expected. I ought to go and see this but finishing the <em>Bumper Book of Magic<\/em> book took longer than I expected so I&#8217;ve had scheduled work backed up which I&#8217;m dealing with at the moment. I also don&#8217;t fancy taking another chance with Britain&#8217;s failing rail network, not when the last experience a few weeks ago was a bad one. But if you&#8217;re closer to London I&#8217;d recommend this exhibition which Artforum says is Ruppert&#8217;s first solo show in the UK.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ruppert2-big.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ruppert2.jpg\" alt=\"ruppert2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Ma Soeur Mon Epouse (1975).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s tempting to connect the exhibition to this year&#8217;s 100th anniversary of Surrealism but I&#8217;ve never seen Ruppert&#8217;s name mentioned in Surrealist circles. She isn&#8217;t referred to in Penelope Rosemont&#8217;s wide-ranging <em>Surrealist Women<\/em>, for example, but then neither is Leonor Fini, possibly because Fini tried to maintain some distance from groups and movements. Was Ruppert the same? Without further information it&#8217;s hard to say. She was friends with HR Giger, however, and pictures by both artists may be seen in <em>Providence<\/em> (1977), the Alain Resnais film, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2022\/05\/30\/art-on-film-providence\/\">as I noted a couple of years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frenzy of the Visible<\/em> will be running until 20th April.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ruppert3-big.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ruppert3.jpg\" alt=\"ruppert3.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Le Sacrifice (1980).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere on { feuilleton }<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/the-fantastic-art-archive\/\">The fantastic art archive<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Previously on { feuilleton }<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2022\/05\/30\/art-on-film-providence\/\">Art on film: Providence<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2014\/05\/21\/hans-by-sibylle\/\">Hans by Sibylle<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2011\/06\/14\/sibylle-ruppert-revisited\/\">Sibylle Ruppert revisited<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2011\/06\/10\/sibylle-ruppert-1942\u20132011\/\">Sibylle Ruppert, 1942\u20132011<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Bible du Mal (1978).
