In the time of physical and moral devastation following World War II, Hans Josephsohn (1920–2012) developed an existential sculptural language characterized by ambivalent, almost abstract figures. Ancient-looking in their appearance, they speak to the fragile relationship of mankind with the surrounding world.
Published in conjunction with an exhibition curated by Udo Kittelmann at Germany's Museum of Modern art, the MMK Frankfurt am Main, this substantial volume documents the work of respected figurative sculptor Hans Josephsohn, who was born in 1920 in East Prussia and who currently lives and works in Zurich. Photographed over six years by Katalin Deér.
