THE HAAS BROTHERS FEINSTEIN
June – July 2014
To much critical acclaim: “Artists, musicians, furniture designers – no matter what they turn their hands to, the multi-talented Haas brothers achieve lift off.”
-Wallpaper, Jonathan Griffin, 2013
Galerie Gmurzynska is pleased to present the first European solo exhibition of the work of Simon and Nikolai Haas. Walking the line between fine art and design, the Haas Brother’s unique sculptural practice has broken traditional understanding of applied arts with an eye for the dramatic, a sense of perfection and an unquestionable dedication to aesthetic humor.
Since beginning their practice together in Los Angeles in 2010 they have attracted the attention of stalwarts from the worlds of fashion, design, arts and entertainment including Peter Marino, Nicola Formichetti, Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga), Tobey Maguire and Donatella Versace. Constantly working to expand their working processes their clients have become their collaborators: Designing a music video with Lady Gaga and Nicola Formichetti, designing Maison Louis Vuitton Shanghai with Peter Marino and collaborating on a lauded collection for Versace Home with Donatella Versace.
At Galerie Gmurzynska’s Zurich location on Paradeplatz, the Haas Brothers will exhibit a new series of unique works especially designed for this occasion. This exhibition will be accompanied by an extensive publication.
