This exhibition exclusively presents the Verschiebungen series from the late 1960s and early 1970s, where Hildegard Joos dealt specifically with the theme of symmetry. In that series the surface is optically halved, with the color composition of the geometric shapes on one half mirrored on the other. An optical movement is generated, and the regularity of a uniformly ordered system is disrupted by interruptions and rhythmic displacements. The shifting of the axis of symmetry leads to a dialogue of forms within the surface.

A show highlighting only that series to this extent has never been presented so far. Now is a rare chance to discover and dive into the outstanding and pioneering quality of Hildegard Joos, who marks an interface in the tradition of geometric-constructive abstraction and the discourse of contemporary painting.
