Hans Hofmann: The Nature of Abstraction

Hans Hofmann: The Nature of Abstraction offers a fresh look at an artist you thought you knew. Hofmann’s expressive paintings illustrate a continuously experimental and intellectually rigorous approach, which developed across two world wars and pan-Atlantic avant-gardes. This retrospective spans the entirety of the artist's career, connecting understudied early works to iconic late-career paintings, to offer new insight into Hofmann’s practice and legacy.
