Artist Mona Hatoum leaves Galerie Max Hetzler

Article
After ten years with Galerie Max Hetzler, Lebanese-born Palestinian artist Mona Hatoum will no longer work with the Berlin-based contemporary art gallery.

The London-based artist, who has studied and worked in the UK capital since 1975, began collaborating with Galerie Max Hetzler in 2006, when her first solo exhibition in Berlin debuted in the gallery’s now-closed space in the Mitte district. Over the last ten years, Galerie Max Hetzler has hosted two further solo shows by Hatoum and her work was featured in the 2013 “Remember Everything” exhibition, celebrating the gallery’s 40th anniversary.

Hatoum's work has been exhibited widely in solo exhibitions across the whole of Europe, the United States and Canada, including a retrospective at Paris’ Centre Pompidou in 2015. The Palestinian artist was awarded the Rolf Schock Prize in 2008 and the 2011 Joan Miró prize.

Following her 2015 Parisian retrospective, Hatoum’s survey exhibition is currently on show at Tate Modern, London. The exhibition, curated by Centre Pompidou Honorary Curator Christine Van Assche and Tate’s Clarrie Wallis, will run through August 21.
