In 2018 Coyne had her first solo exhibition in New York City in over a decade, "Petah Coyne: Having Gone, I Will Return," at Galerie Lelong & Co. Enlisting the help of couture seamstresses, Coyne learned techniques to manipulate fabric and create a new monumental work, Untitled #1379 (The Doctor's Wife), which became the centerpiece of the exhibition.
The piece was inspired by the book The Doctor's Wife, a novel by Sawako Ariyoshi written in 1966.
