Miriam Cahn

Born, 1949 in Basel, Switzerland

Artist, lives and works in basel, Switzerland.

From Artforum International, June 22, 1996 - by Yilmaz Dziewior: “Miriam Cahn’s works on paper, in which she uses either charcoal or colored chalk, often seem to have been made in great haste. Her fleeting gestures suggest an effort to give form to thoughts and emotions in as direct a manner as possible, and the almost unbearable urgency of the images that appear point to a restless, doubt-ridden artistic practice.”
