Join us at Hauser & Wirth St. Moritz to celebrate the opening of ‘Intimate Anatomies. Cathy Josefowitz, Maria Lassnig, Carol Rama.’ The exhibition unites paintings and works on paper by Lassnig and Josefowitz with Rama’s paintings and multimedia works. Distinct in their approaches yet connected by a shared resistance to convention, the artists explore the body through movement, amorphous form, sexuality and colour.

About the Artists

Maria Lassnig
Maria Lassnig’s (1919 – 2014) work is based on the observation of the physical presence of the body and what she termed ‘body awareness’, or ‘Körpergefühl’ in German. Many of her paintings, drawings and watercolours were devoted to recording her physiological states through a direct and unflinching style. Utilizing contrasting colours such as greens, pinks and blues, as well as strong body shapes to give her paintings a powerful, even drastic impact, Lassnig looked to herself, a female artist in a predominantly male world, as her primary subject. ‘Hans Ulrich Obrist Archives: Maria Lassnig. ‘Living with art stops one wilting!’’ is on view at Luma Westbau until 20 December 2026. ‘Maria Lassnig and Edvard Munch​. Flow of Paint = Flow of Life’ will travel from the Hamburger Kunstalle in Germany to Kunsthaus Zurich​ in Switzerland from 2 October 2026.

Carol Rama
Over more than seven decades, Carol Rama (1918 – 2015) developed a radical body of work that addressed connections between desire, sacrifice, eroticism and repression. By constructing a visual cosmos where transgression leads to liberation, Rama countered assumptions about sexuality and representation, offering a retort to the societal conventions and the prevailing far-right political ideologies that defined the fascist-dominated Italy of her youth. She set neither boundaries nor hierarchies between painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking, pulling all of these mediums into her image universe. Rama’s debut exhibition with the gallery, ‘I See You You See Me,’ is currently on view at Hauser & Wirth New York, 22nd Street until 31 July 2026.

Cathy Josefowitz
Prolific, prescient and powerfully original yet under-recognized in her lifetime, Cathy Josefowitz (1956 – 2014) produced a diverse body of work that ingeniously transcends hierarchies of medium and genre. Over the course of four decades, this New York-born, Swiss-raised artist created an oeuvre of remarkable ambition, spanning drawing and painting, theater and dance, as she developed a deeply personal visual syntax in her quest to represent the body as an expressive vehicle of individual experience. Josefowitz’s practice reconciled the visual arts and performance, leaving an exceptional legacy as substantial in scale as it is intimate and potent in its impact.
