Exhibition and storage space for the works
of Hans Josephsohn
The Kesselhaus Josephsohn shows a regularly changing selection of plaster models and bronzes by the Zurich sculptor Hans Josephsohn (*1920). It serves as museum-like exhibition hall and simultaneously as a storage space and a workspace where Josephsohn’s oeuvre is mediated for exhibitions, conserved and indexed.
The Galerie Felix Lehner makes the efforts connected with looking after Josephsohn’s work possible through the sale of his works. Since 2008, Hauser & Wirth located in Zurich, London and New York has also been representing the works of Hans Josephsohn on the international art market. The gallery works closely with Kesselhaus Josephsohn and Galerie Felix Lehner.
