Qualified as androgynous, enigmatic, controversial, fighter and committed, Patti Smith (Chicago, 1946) is one of the pioneering punk rock artists of the 70s. Her music, a mix of rock and poetry, and her magnetic personality have made her a one of the most influential artists in the history of female rock. Although her best-known artistic facet is musical —due to the popularity of her ten plus albumst—, Patti Smith has a very broad creative range that is completed with poetry and the plastic arts.
The publication of more than a dozen books of poems and writings and an artistic production —mainly of drawings— exhibited on various occasions in different galleries and museums, show that Patti Smith has boundless creative energy. The three artistic facets have developed in parallel and are inevitably interrelated.
