Simone Fattal
Simone Fattal was born in 1942 in Damascus, Syria, and raised in Lebanon, where she studied philosophy at the École des Lettres in Beirut. She then moved to Paris, where she continued her philosophical pursuits at the Sorbonne. In 1969 she returned to Beirut and began working as a visual artist, exhibiting her paintings until the start of the Lebanese Civil War. She left Lebanon in 1980 and settled in California, where she founded the Post-Apollo Press, a publishing house dedicated to innovative and experimental literary work. In 1988 she enrolled at the Art Institute of San Francisco, which prompted a return to her artistic practice and a newfound dedication to sculpture and ceramics.
Fattal currently lives in Paris. Her work is included in several public collections, such as the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the Yves Saint Laurent Foundation, Marrakech; the National Museum of Qatar, Doha; the Sursock Museum, Beirut and the Sharja Art Foundation, Sharja.
Her most recent exhibitions include: Louvre Museum, Paris (2024–25); Secession, Vienna (2024); Portikus, Frankfurt (2023); KINDL, Berlin (2023); Sharjah Art Foundation, Sharjah (2023); La Biennale di Venezia, Venice (2022); 16th Lyon Biennale, Lyon (2022); 12th Berlin Biennale, Berlin (2022); Whitechapel Gallery, London (2021); Bergen Kunsthall, Bergen (2020); Nuveau Musée National de Monaco, Monaco (2020); MoMA PS1, New York (2019); Punta della Dogana, Venice (2019).
