Cathy Josefowitz
Cathy Josefowitz (1956-28 June 2014) was an international artist with US and Swiss citizenship. Life and work 
Josefowitz was born in New York City and moved with her parents at an early age to Switzerland. She studied set design at the National Theatre of Strasbourg before moving to Paris where she earned a degree in visual arts at the École des Beaux-Arts. In 1987, she attended the School for New Dance Development in Amsterdam. Later in her life she worked and lived in Paris, Boston, Amsterdam and Italy. Her work included paintings and drawings in conversation with choreography. Her extensive work is increasingly exhibited in the context of current discourses on figuration, gender, the body, otherness and identity. In 2007, Josefowitz was diagnosed with cancer. She died in Geneva. Since 2023, Josefowitz's estate has been represented by Hauser & Wirth. Exhibitions
