“Steven Holl: Drawing as Thought” Exhibition Opens Feb 6 in Berlin

Steven Holl: Drawing as Thought will open at the Tchoban Foundation Museum for Architectural Drawing in Berlin, Germany on February 6, 2025, and will be on view from February 7 through May 4, 2025. This major exhibition of Holl’s watercolors and drawings is curated by Kristin Feireiss, and will be accompanied by a robust publication. Holl will be in conversation with Feireiss, Sergei Tchoban, and Diana Carta on the occasion of the opening event.

“The work of internationally renowned US architect Steven Holl is distinguished not only by his extraordinary buildings, with a focus on cultural and public structures such as museums, art centers, concert halls, libraries and universities worldwide, but also by his artistic oeuvre, which today comprises more than 50,000 sketches, black-and-white drawings and watercolors. […] While exhibition visitors will only encounter a small portion of his extensive body of work, each drawing should be explored and studied individually, in keeping with Holl’s intent.” – Tchoban Foundation
