‘The works on display in this exhibition in some cases appropriate ideas from ‘The Second Sex’. In others, they might illuminate, muddle or complicate them or underscore the blind spots in Beauvoir’s thinking. In all cases, they continue the conversation.’
—Dr. Sophie Berrebi

How does Simone de Beauvoir’s 1949 book ‘The Second Sex’ read today for an artist? And how does it affect the way we look at art made since the book was published? This March, Hauser & Wirth brings a group exhibition titled ‘Seventy Years of the Second Sex. A Conversation between Works and Words’ to its gallery on Limmatstrasse in Zurich, to initiate a reflection on Beauvoir’s milestone study with, and through, contemporary art.
