“Hans Josephsohn seen by Albert Oehlen” exhibition

Publié le 26 December 2024

Until 16 February 2025 at the Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris

German artist Albert Oehlen has been commissioned by the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris to curate this exhibition devoted to Swiss sculptor Hans Josephsohn (1920-2012), whom he discovered in St Gallen. Josephsohn worked for six decades in his Swiss studio, which was marked by his personal journey from his birth in East Prussia in Königsberg to a Jewish family, his studies in Florence and his escape from persecution to Zurich, where he lived and created until the end of his life. The chronological tour takes us through three stylistic periods, following an artistic production that oscillated between figuration and abstraction.
