Sexuality, delusion, illness and death are the great human themes and elementary experiences to which Carol Rama (1918-2015) dedicated her art. She is one of the outstanding female artists of modernism who achieved fame late in life.

With her depictions of female pleasure, Rama paved the way for today's feminist art as early as the 1940s. Independent of schools and artistic groups, she created an unconventional and very personal body of work over a period of around sixty years. Her work is characterized by a love of experimentation and defies simple categorization. The Kunstmuseum Bern is presenting the first comprehensive survey exhibition of the Turin artist in Switzerland, with works from all creative phases of her extraordinary oeuvre. On display are hauntingly expressive portraits, object montages in the surrealist tradition as well as abstract paintings and works made from industrial materials.
