Kunsthaus Zürich: Lehmbruck and Netzhammer in Dialogue
A new exhibition at the Kunsthaus Zürich brings together the German Expressionist sculptor Wilhelm Lehmbruck and Swiss artist Yves Netzhammer in a dialogue exploring the human condition. Lehmbruck, who found refuge and a meeting place in Zürich, was preoccupied with the human figure and its complex inner life, treating thought as sculpture and sculpture as thought. The exhibition pairs his works with those of Netzhammer, whom the museum identifies as a kindred spirit, to highlight shared concerns across generations. The show is currently on view at the Kunsthaus Zürich.
