• Marg Moll is the only German female sculpting student of Henri Matisse in Paris.
• The comprehensive exhibition "Gemischtes Doppel. Die Molls und die Purrmanns – Zwei Künstlerpaare der Moderne“ featuring works by the artist, will be shown at the Museum Wiesbaden in autumn 2023 (10/13/2023–2/18/2024).
