Cernuda Arte

Search:

Over five decades, her work appeared in more than fifty solo exhibitions
and more than one hundred group exhibitions across Europe and the
Americas, including presentations in Paris, Lausanne, Brussels,
Amsterdam, Toulouse, Silkeborg, Larvik, Geneva, Barcelona, London,
Budapest, Venice, Miami, New York, Mexico City, Caracas, and more.
In 1978, she received a Cintas Foundation Fellowship and was named a
Chevalier of the French Order of Arts and Letters. In 1999, the Musée
du Pilori in Niort, France, organized a retrospective of her work.

Pellón’s practice extended beyond painting. She produced collages and
prints, designed tapestries, and created sets and costumes for two
feature films by the French director Marcel Hanoun. She illustrated
books by French writers and publications. For the final ten years of her
life, she was represented by Cernuda Arte in Coral Gables, who are
now the stewards of her archives. The artist died in Paris in 2014.

Centennial brings together more than twenty paintings, collages, and
works on paper created between 1970 and 2014, tracing Pellón’s Paris
years through the final period of her career.
