Sexuality, madness, illness and death are the big themes that Carol Rama (1918 – 2015) addressed in her art. She is one of the outstanding modern women artists, who gained recognition late in life.
As early as the 1930s, Rama paved the way for contemporary feminist art with representations of female desire and created an experimental, radical and personal body of work over a period of about seventy years. The Kunstmuseum Bern is showing the first comprehensive survey exhibition in Switzerland devoted to the Turin artist, with works from all the creative phases of her extraordinary oeuvre.
