Order is the Fringe of Chaos

Granwehr’s works are always constructed according to a logic based on mathematics and geometry. An affinity to constructivist-concrete art seems obvious, although the artist himself repeatedly emphasized that he had nothing in common with the Zurich Concretists. Since many of his works come across like conceptual models, it cannot be
denied that there is also a certain closeness to conceptual art.

The exhibition at Haus Konstruktiv, conceived in close collaboration with the team from Granwehr’s estate, provides an introduction to the Granwehrian cosmos – in which this artist proves to have been a methodical systematic sculptor, a draftsman and a numerologist in equal measure.
