Hans Hofmann. The Chimbote Project
From 1948 to 1950, aware of the need for new public spaces in cities, German painter Hans Hofmann and Catalan architect Josep Lluís Sert – who was living in exile in the United States at the time – designed a church in Chimbote, Peru, that was never built. This catalogue includes Hofmann’s sketches for a mural on the bell tower, which reveal the distinctive expressive and formal characteristics of his work and contextualise the project historically to provide a broader interpretation of a revitalised collaboration between art and architecture. It includes essays by Xavier Costa, Tina Dickey, Eric Mumford, Maurici Pla and Martí Peran.
