Mona Kuhn joins PAC LA and guests for her second artist talk and conversation with us, sharing thoughts about her current work and insights into her retrospective book,  Mona Kuhn: Works. The book features work spanning more than 20 years and will be released by Thames & Hudson in April 2021.

Mona Kuhn is best known for her large-scale photographs of the human form. Acclaimed for her contemporary depictions, Kuhn is considered a leading artist in the world of figurative discourse. An underlying current among Kuhn's works is her reflection on humanity’s longing for spiritual connection and solidarity.

Kuhn’s first monograph, Photographs, was debuted by Steidl in 2004; followed by Evidence (2007), Native (2010), Bordeaux Series (2011), Private (2014), and She Disappeared into Complete Silence (2019). Following the Thames & Hudson release of her retrospective, Works this April, Mona’s book, 835 Kings Road will be released by Steidl in the Fall/Winter 2021/2 ( Steidl and Thames & Hudson).

Mona Kuhn’s work is in private and public collections worldwide, including The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Hammer Museum, Perez Art Museum Miami, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Kiyosato Museum in Japan. Kuhn's work has been exhibited at The Louvre Museum and Le Bal in Paris; The Whitechapel Gallery and Royal Academy of Arts in London; Musée de l’Elysée in Switzerland; Leopold Museum in Vienna Austria, The Polygon Gallery in Vancouver Canada, Taipei Fine Arts Museum in Taiwan and Australian Centre for Photography.
