This first exhibition of Hans Josephsohn’s (1920–2012) works at Thaddaeus Ropac presents sculptures and reliefs from the mid-1970s to the early 2000s, tracing the Swiss artist’s stylistic development over the course of three decades, and placing an emphasis on his late work. Josephsohn’s practice is characterised by his lifelong preoccupation with the human form as the starting point for his art. Throughout his career, he developed a wholly unique visual language, pushing the boundaries of figurative representation and placing emphasis on the very substance of the human form.

A major retrospective of the artist’s work, curated by Albert Oehlen, will open in October 2024 at the Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris.
