Vera Szekely - Traces

Traces is no fiction, it is a journey about Vera Székely, an artist left at the margin of art history. Conceived like a diary, this book is a look into Vera Szekely’s personality. Restless, the artist has left her marks on clay, lead, wood, canvas, ground and space. Vera Szekely finally comes out of the shadow of her husband and sculptor Pierre Székely and her son and designer Martin Szekely.

Her story is illustrated by a collection of documents published in appendix along with archival images.

Daniel Léger, a unique author with an eye for rebellious art, shares his vision of this great artist whose work strongly influenced the creation of the second half of the 20th century.

Vera Székely, plastic and ceramic artist, was born in 1919 and died in 1995.
