About the artist: Pedro Friedeberg is a contemporary Mexican artist best known for his Surrealist sculptures and prints. His eclectic body of work bridges architectural imagery and psychedelic patterns with occult iconography. In one of his most famous works, Hand Chair (1961), the artist melds practical furniture design into the shape of a giant hand. Born Pietro Enrico Hoffman Landsberg on January 11, 1936 in Florence, Italy to German-Jewish immigrants escaping the Holocaust, he and his family moved to Mexico when Friedeberg was 3 years old. Influenced by the books of Renaissance and Gothic architecture he saw as a child, Friedeberg studied to become an architect at the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City. In 1960, he dropped out of architecture school and turned his focus to painting and designing. It was around this time that he fell into the artistic circles of Surrealists and Neo-Dadaists, including Remedios Varo, Mathias Goeritz, and Leonora Carrington. Friedeberg's strange compositions and eccentric attitude has earned him international recognition. Today, the artist’s works are held among the collections of the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., and The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Friedeberg currently lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico.
Presentation
There is a world where swirling and hypnotic lines intermingle to form architectural structures worthy of the Tower of Babel. This world is housed in the works of Pedro Friedeberg, architect of the imagination… Born in Italy during the reign of Mussolini, he moved to Mexico with his family from his childhood. A precocious lover of drawing and literature, he went on to study architecture at the Ibero-American University. Going against the grain of the great principles of architecture, he found in the person of Mathias Goeritz, his teacher, an excellent mentor. In 1960, he met Los Hartos, a Dadaist group who, like him, rejected political and social art. He then freed himself a little more from aesthetic diktats and created his own architectural principles, in opposition to those taught at the university, which he found far too functional. Very detailed, his psychedelic work abounds in references to several religions (he even invented a new one), to Aztec codes and to tantric writings.
