The painter Judith Reigl has died at the age of 97. The Hungarian-born artist move to Paris in 1950, where she met André Breton, who in 1954 put on a show of her work at the L’Étoile scellée, the gallery he ran at the time and where the Surrealists frequently exhibited. Reigl quickly drifted away from Surrealism to create the exuberant abstract works for which she is best known, and in the mid 1960s her work took a figurative turn. Reigl’s work can be found in the permanent collections of Tate and MoMA, among other institutions.
