An outstanding exponent of concrete art, Gottfried Honegger remained faithful to the postulates of this abstract movement until the end of his days. This minimalist work belongs to a period of the artist's maturity, by which time he was already internationally recognised and his utopian postulates had made an impact on the art world.
Gottfried Honegger was a Swiss artist and collector. He studied window dressing at the Zurich School of Art and taught there from 1948. His early work was in commercial graphic design. Between 1955 and 1958 he was art director at Geigy. He lived in New York from 1958 to 1960, and held his first exhibition there. In 1961 he moved to Paris and concentrated on painting, focusing on the exploration of the circle and the square; from 1968 he worked in sculpture. Honegger also spent some time in Texas, as an artist-in-residence at the University of Dallas. Gottfried Honegger was one of the most original creators of concrete art, recognised in both the United States and Europe. He was the author of numerous monumental works. He worked with variations on the same theme: volume, structure, stelae.... While maintaining the influence of the concrete art of Max Bill and Lhose Richard, Honegger turned to a certain vertical mathematical programming in the 1960s and 1970s. The use of computers enabled him to develop his plastic research. He was awarded the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres under the direction of Jack Lang at the French Ministry of Culture; in 1999 he became a member of the Legion of Honour. In 1990, together with Sybil Albers, he created the Espace de l'Art Concrète (Mouans-Sartoux) from their collections. In 2015, the Centre Pompidou in Paris devoted a retrospective to this unique artist, whose works are in the collections of several major museums, including the MoMA in New York.
