About Verena Loewensberg
Within the influential Zurich school of concrete artists, Swiss artist Verena Loewensberg (1912 – 1986) is notable for being a leading figure, as well as the only female member, of the group, which also included Max Bill, Camille Graeser and Richard Paul Lohse. Hauser & Wirth London presents the first solo exhibition in the UK dedicated to this singular 20th-Century figure, focusing on her later shift to ideas of color field, hard-edge and minimalism.
Starting with a work from the 1950s, presented on a wallpapered wall based on a design by the artist, the show features paintings from the 1960s to 1980s in which Loewensberg broke from the strictures of concrete art, distinguishing herself through her formal and chromatic flair, alongside the only sculptural work Loewensberg ever made.
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.
