1918, Switzerland - 1963, Switzerland) Sekula was a Swiss artist who emigrated to New York with her family in 1936, where she quickly became part of the artistic avant-garde surrounding Surrealist émigrés André Breton and Marcel Duchamp. Inspired by Surrealism and Indian [[Folklore]], she developed a style focusing on abstract patterns and lines. During her time in New York she exhibited in numerous exhibitions alongside Abstract Expressionists, but her work was rarely shown in Europe until the 1990s, when she began to find recognition. #Art
