Présentation The work ofthe Swiss artist Hans Josephsohn (1920-2012), one of the greatmasters of sculpture of the second half of the 20th century Born in1920 in Eastern Prussia from Jewish parents, Hans Josephsohn left Germany in 1937 andsettled in Florence with the aim of studying art. Forced to leave due to fascistracial laws, he moved to Switzerland, which became his adoptive country. Josephsohn’soeuvre has been defined as “existential sculpture”: in a time that was stronglycharacterised by the physical and moral devastation left by World War II, HansJosephsohn developed a language capable to talk about the fragile relationship of mankindwith the surrounding world. He was concerned with representing the human beingas a figure in space throughout his life. His sculptures are characterised by anambivalence of the almost abstract figure whose individuality is secured by its form,material and surface. The book ispublished on the occasion of the biggest Josephsohn exhibition at the Musée d’ArtModerne in Paris, curated by the german painter Albert Oehlen. It aims to show whyJosephsohn, though being little known during his lifetime, is recognized as “themost important sculptor since Giacometti” (Jackie Wullschlager). The bookincludes a foreword byFabrice Hergott, director of Musée d’Art Moderne; anintroduction by the exhibition curator, the artistAlbert Oehlen; abiographical essay byJackie Wullschlager,chief-critic of the Financial Times and author of thecelebrated biographyMonet. The restless vision; an essay byMax Daxon archetype and an essay onJosephson’s spiritual dimension and archaic qualities by British sculptor ThomasHouseago; a photo essay on the Josephsohn-Estate in St. Gallen by leading internationalphotographerFrançois Halard; a wide-ranging oral history compiled out of eightnew interviews with Josephsohn’s closest allies and family, including both his wifes, thehead of his foundry Felix Lehner as well as the Swiss architect Peter Märkli, whodesigned La Congiunta museum for Josephsohn’s works in Ticino; an essay by FrenchphilosopherDanièle Cohnabout memory, trauma and space in Josephsohn’s work;Josephsohn in his own words and biographical details.
