Jan Voss — À propos — Slash Paris

Jan Voss was born in Hamburg (Germany) in 1936. He lives and works between Paris and Berlin. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich between 1956 and 1960, the artist permanently settled in Paris. He was a professor at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he taught from 1987 to 1992.

He has been the subject of major exhibitions, including at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dunkirk in 2002, the Palais Synodal in Sens, France in 2008, the Museum Arnhem in the Netherlands in 2010, the Espace d’art contemporain André Malraux in Colmar, France in 2021, and Château Lynch-Bages in Pauillac, France in 2022. His works now feature in the collections of many museums: Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Moderna Musset in Stockholm, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dunkerque, Centre Pompidou in Paris.

From now until 2025, the Musée d’art moderne de Céret will be presenting major works on paper as part of a group exhibition marking the reopening of the museum.
A monograph on Voss by Yves Michaud was published in 2001 and a second by Anne Tronche in 2015.
