Die libanesische Künstlerin Huguette Caland (1931–2019) widersetzte sich in ihrer fast fünfzigjährigen Karriere konsequent den gesellschaftlichen und ästhetischen Erwartungen ihrer Zeit. Ihr vielseitiges Lebenswerk aus drei Kontinenten steht im Mittelpunkt der in Kooperation mit dem Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía realisierten Ausstellung.

Mit rund 300 Werken eröffnet die Schau A LIFE IN A FEW LINES in den Deichtorhallen Hamburg vom 24. Oktober 2025 bis 26. April 2026 einen neuen Blick auf Calands Schaffen. Sie thematisiert ihren Widerstand gegen soziale und sexuelle Normen und ihren Umgang mit einem Leben zwischen verschiedenen Kulturen und Orten.

Calands künstlerisches Leben war geprägt von ihren Erfahrungen in Beirut, dem freigeistigen Paris und der Bohème in Venice, Kalifornien. Diese Orte spiegeln die politischen, kulturellen und sozialen Strömungen ihrer Zeit wider und beeinflussten ihre Werke nachhaltig. Ihre Kunst – oft sinnlich und mutig – befasst sich mit Themen wie Gemeinschaft, Urbanität, Liebe, dem Älterwerden und der Suche nach Identität.

Ihre Werke – farbenfrohe Gemälde, zarte Zeichnungen, Skulpturen und Textilien – spiegeln eine rebellische, lebensbejahende Haltung wider, die Konventionen rund um Schönheit, Begehren und weibliche Identität infrage stellte. Calands faszinierende Mischung aus Abstraktion, figurativen Darstellungen und explizit erotischen Motiven war ihrer Zeit voraus. Heute gilt Caland als Ikone weiblicher Emanzipation und als Inspiration für Künstlerinnen weltweit. Ihre Arbeiten sind in Sammlungen bekannter Museen wie dem Centre Pompidou in Paris, dem British Museum oder der Tate in London zu finden.

The Lebanese artist Huguette Caland (1931-2019) consistently defied the social and aesthetic expectations of her time during her almost fifty-year career. Her multifaceted life's work from three continents is the focus of the exhibition realized in cooperation with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. With around 300 works, the show A LIFE IN A FEW LINES at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg from October 24, 2025 to April 26, 2026 opens up a new perspective on Caland's work. It focuses on her resistance to social and sexual norms and her approach to life between different cultures and places.

Caland's artistic life was shaped by her experiences in Beirut, free-spirited Paris and bohemian Venice, California. These places reflected the political, cultural and social currents of her time and had a lasting influence on her work. Her art - often sensual and bold - deals with themes such as community, urbanity, love, ageing and the search for identity.

Her works - colorful paintings, delicate drawings, sculptures and textiles - reflect a rebellious, life-affirming attitude that challenged conventions around beauty, desire and female identity. Caland's fascinating mixture of abstraction, figurative depictions and explicit erotic motifs was ahead of its time. Today, Caland is considered an icon of female emancipation and an inspiration for female artists worldwide. Her works can be found in the collections of well-known museums such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the British Museum and the Tate in London.

Quality product
Color: Blue
Great toy but the holes are very large for the snacks so they fall out easily. I have a toy poodle and it was to large for her, it seems like it is made of good quality materials and would be great for chewers .

No match for 3 month old puppy!
Color: Blue
I was really hopeful this would last a while, but 5 minutes out of the box and my 3 month old puppy has chewed two chunks out of the blue part already - seems this is too soft for puppy teeth, and it specifically claims to be good for puppy teething. 5 minutes of play is not worth paying for. Maybe if the material had been more substantial, this could have been great for high activity level puppies. My pup had no trouble carrying it around, so it wasn't too heavy, and it was easy to play fetch with as well. For reference, my pup is a mixed breed - labrador, poodle, newfoundland.

Best ever dog toy
Color: Pink
This is such the clever toy and actually I think it makes my pup more clever too. The ball is tough enough to withstand excessive chewing. I really can’t say enough good things about this particular dog toy. This will keep my dogs attention for such a long period of time and you can truly just watch the wheels turning in his head as he figures out how to get the food out would buy again and I probably will just to have a back up.
