This summer at our St. Moritz gallery, Intimate anatomies brings together the work of Cathy Josefowitz, Maria Lassnig and Carol Rama, three trailblazing women artists whose practices challenged traditional notions of portraiture by depicting the female body as a site of lived, individual experience.

Intimate anatomies for the first time unites paintings and works on paper by Lassnig and Josefowitz with works by Rama, who incorporated everyday materials such as spray paint and glue into her work. Distinct in their approaches yet connected by a shared resistance to convention, the artists explore the body through movement, amorphous form, sexuality and colour.

Through these boundary-pushing depictions of the human form and psyche, the exhibition highlights each artist’s relationship to her own body while also considering the body’s connection to society, architectural space and nature.
