One of the great joys in my life was knowing Ivan Moscovich.
He was a rare human who, having survived the Holocaust, went on to build an award-winning career as a leading author, mathematician and inventor publishing over 100 titles and creating record-breaking educational games.
His life’s work was dedicated to the pursuit of intellectual curiosity and creative thinking.
Realising Ivan’s debut solo exhibition was an indescribable honour, connecting Ivan’s complex and beautiful artwork to audiences in London and Los Angeles.
Ivan was born to Hungarian parents in the former Yugoslavia. He survived the Novi Sad Razzia; a mass execution on the riverbed of the Danube. His father was one of the thousands murdered that day. Ivan was soon captured and went on to survive multiple concentration camps in the Second World War, including Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen.
Ivan’s artistic work synthesised the confluence of science and creativity, embodying the visual communication of mathematics through a hypnotic op art lens.
Internationally exhibited, his key body of work produced between 1968 and 1973 was presented by the Institute of Contemporary Art London, International Design Centre Berlin, Museum of Modern Art Mexico, as well as Science museums in San Francisco and Tel Aviv.
Ivan’s works are represented in important public and private collections; Hiscox and Frank Oppenheimer’s Exploratorium among them.
My heart goes out to his wife Anitta upon whom he doted and his two other great loves, his daughter Hila and granddaughter Emilia.
