The work of
the Swiss artist Hans Josephsohn (1920-2012), one of the

great
masters of sculpture of the second half of the 20th century

Born in
1920 in Eastern Prussia from Jewish parents, Hans Josephsohn left Germany

in 1937 and
settled in Florence with the aim of studying art. Forced to leave due

to fascist
racial laws, he moved to Switzerland, which became his adoptive country.

Josephsohn's
oeuvre has been defined as "existential sculpture": in a time that was

strongly
characterised by the physical and moral devastation left by World War II,

Hans
Josephsohn developed a language capable to talk about the fragile relationship

of mankind
with the surrounding world. He was concerned with representing the

human being
as a figure in space throughout his life. His sculptures are characterised

by an
ambivalence of the almost abstract figure whose individuality is secured by its

form,
material and surface.

The book is
published on the occasion of the biggest Josephsohn exhibition at the

Musée d'Art
Moderne in Paris, curated by the german painter Albert Oehlen. It aims

to show why
Josephsohn, though being little known during his lifetime, is recognized

as "the
most important sculptor since Giacometti" (Jackie Wullschlager).

The book
includes a foreword by Fabrice Hergott, director of Musée d'Art Moderne;

an
introduction by the exhibition curator, the artist Albert Oehlen; a
biographical

essay byJackie Wullschlager, chief-critic of the Financial Times and author of the
celebrated

biography
Monet. The restless vision; an essay by Max Dax on archetype and

an essay on
Josephson's spiritual dimension and archaic qualities by British sculptor

Thomas
Houseago; a photo essay on the Josephsohn-Estate in St.
