Main tendue (2006) by Philippe Ramette is included in the group show “The hand (and) the glove” at the Jenisch Vevey Museum.

A symbol of power, devotion and seduction, and a tool for tactile exploration that is indispensable to workers and artists alike, the motif of the hand and glove is explored here from the 16th century through to contemporary art. Through a selection of works from the museum’s collections, enhanced by external loans, this thematic exhibition offers an original perspective on the narrative functions of the hand, sometimes bare, sometimes gloved.
