The German-Swiss sculptor’s ability to make indefiniteness monumental is what is so arresting to 21st-century audiences.
Even as they dominate the space around them, there remains something reclusive about every one of Josephsohn’s bulky, crusty reclining nudes and “semi-figures”, their layered, sensitively manipulated, ambiguous abstract/figurative surfaces – built up in plaster and lost-wax bronze casting – at once restrained, rigorous, simplified, but tactile and exuberant. – Jackie Wullschlager
