Hauser & Wirth will present the first solo exhibition in the United States dedicated to the late Verena Loewensberg, a prominent Swiss artist and a leading figure of the influential Zurich school of concrete artists. The Kind of Blue exhibition will run from the 21st of February until the 27th of April at Hauser & Wirth New York, 69th Street.
The exhibit is being curated by Henriette Coray Loewensberg, president of the Verena Loewensberg Foundation. Furthermore, it is supported by Lionel Bovier, vice president of the Foundation and director of MAMCO in Geneva.
Kind of Blue will feature paintings spanning four decades of Loewensberg’s career and include the only sculptural work ever created by Loewensberg.
Concretists like Max Bill influenced Loewensberg’s art. However, Loewensberg herself stated that “Bill was not a teacher to me, he was a challenge that I had to face. It was as if I were a bird that had to learn to fly by itself.”
