Retrospective
Definition: A retrospective is a curated exhibition that presents a comprehensive overview of an artist’s work over time — often spanning decades. It may be organized by theme, period, or medium, and is typically presented at a museum or institutional venue.
Retrospectives are often career-defining and may coincide with catalogues, monographs, or lifetime achievement recognition. They can reshape public understanding of an artist’s evolution, influence, and contributions to art history.
