The Metropolitan Museum of Art acquires sculpture by Hans Josephsohn

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York has officially announced the acquisition of a sculpture by Swiss artist Hans Josephsohn for the museum's collection. 

Josephsohn devoted his sculptural practice to the human figure. Like many of his works, the Untitled work from 2004 takes the reclining figure as its subject. A distinctive ambiguity permeates this particular work. It can be read as one figure, on its side or back, caught in repose or as two figures entwined, one atop another.
