Christian Boltanski

Born in Paris in 1944 of a Jewish father and a Catholic mother, Boltanski's childhood was marked by the war and the terror of separation: children and parents slept in the same room, ready to leave. None of the children were educated for long. Christian's talent for drawing and his freedom of creation allowed him to break through in 1968. Married to Annette Messager, a reference in contemporary art, Boltanski died in 2021.
