Cathy Josefowitz: “Sometimes an ideal world…”

The lyrical, unsettling work of Cathy Josefowitz (1956-2014) remains little known in the United States, the country of her birth. She was born in New York and at three moved with her family to Switzerland, where she developed an early love of drawing, influenced by her parents’ paintings, then by Surrealism, Cocteau, Boris Vian, Jean-Louis Barrault, Nijinsky and others. At sixteen, she entered the Théâtre National de Strasbourg to study theatre design, then moved to Paris and entered the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts.
‘Cathy Josefowitz. Forever Young,’ an inaugural solo exhibition of the artist’s work, opens 11 May and continues through 22 July at Hauser & Wirth New York, 69th Street.
