Sophie Calle - Catalog Raisonné of the Unfinished

This book follows artist Sophie Calle's 2024 exhibition À toi de faire, ma mignonne at the Musée Picasso in Paris. Here, the French artist presented for the first time a selection of her unfinished or abandoned projects, which she also considers her failures. The stories are marked with a red marker indicating the reason why they were never completed, and serve as a mirror to her book True Stories , which has been republished continuously since 1994.

In this eventful collection, revealing the hidden sides of an artistry spanning several decades, we encounter central themes in Calle's work: chance, encounters with strangers, and especially the idea of ​​incompleteness – where trial and failure are natural consequences of the artistic process. A thought that echoes Picasso's philosophy from decades earlier.
