About Annie Cohen-Solal

Annie Cohen-Solal is a writer, historian, cultural diplomat and public intellectual in a trajectory that spans more than four decades. Born in Algiers, in a Jewish family from multiple Mediterranean origins (Algeria, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy etc.), she faced numerous geographical displacements and devoted her entire career to issues of migration and creation. For ever, she has been tracking down interactions between art, literature and society with an intercultural twist. An award-winning writer from Sartre: 1905-1980 to Leo & His Circle: the Life of Leo Castelli (Prix ArtCurial 2010) and A Foreigner Called Picasso (Prix Femina 2021), her books, exhibitions, and lectures have been widely covered both by academic reviews and by the press at large. Annie Cohen-Solal brings to life a surging global ebb and flow of cultural energies, driven by innumerable fascinating individuals– painters, collectors, critics– who initiated enormous cultural changes in history.
