VERENA LOEWENSBERG
Hauser & Wirth | Until 17 April
Swiss artist Verena Loewensberg (1912 – 1986) was a leading figure within the influential Zurich school of concrete artists. She was also the only female member of the group, which included Max Bill, Camille Graeser and Richard Paul Lohse. Hauser & Wirth presents the gallery’s first solo exhibition in the UK dedicated to this singular 20th-Century figure, featuring striking paintings from the 1960s to 1980s in which Loewensberg broke from the strictures of concrete art. Shifting to ideas of color field, hard-edge and minimalism, the artist distinguished herself through her formal and chromatic flair. These are accompanied by two lively early works from the ‘40s and late ‘50s respectively, the only sculpture Loewensberg ever made and a wallpaper based on a design by the artist. The exhibition is organized with Henriette Coray Loewensberg, president of the Verena Loewensberg Foundation, with the support of Lionel Bovier, vice president of the Foundation and director of MAMCO in Geneva, Switzerland.
