About

Hauser & Wirth’s inaugural solo exhibition of the artist’s work, ‘Cathy Josefowitz. Forever Young,’ will re-introduce Josefowitz’s gifts and vision through a meticulous selection of works—including some exhibited publicly for the first time—from the whole of her career. Opening with a collection of early works from the 1970s, including oils on cardboard and drawings on paper in ink, pastel, watercolor and gouache, the exhibition reveals Josefowitz’s incipient, yet voracious, determination to depict the body in both its anatomical and metaphysical dimensions. In portraits and self-portraits from this period, Josefowitz’s subjects appear in a variety of poses accentuating their physical and internal presence alike, as well as their relationships with other bodies.

The exhibition will present film footage of two of Josefowitz’s notable choreographies from the 1980s—‘Woodstock’ and ‘For Ever Young’—to illuminate how dance became inseparable from drawing and painting in the artist’s practice. Later works in the show, from pastels made in the 1980s to the cryptic paintings of empty but eerily anthropomorphic chairs from the 1990s, trace the evolution of Josefowitz’s practice, which she continued to expand in the last decade of her life as she created larger paintings on canvas that further isolate the body and emphasize the geometry of the space it inhabits.
