Haas Brothers American, b. 1984
The Haas Brothers (twins, Nikolai and Simon Haas) are American artists, noted for their sculptural works that blur the line between art and design. They currently work in Los Angeles, California.
Nikolai and Simon were born in Santa Monica, California but grew up in Austin, Texas. Their first collaborative project together was in 2009 when they created bespoke furniture for Tobey Maguire. This project led to other commissions for high-profile clients including Lady Gaga, Donatella Versace, and Peter Marino, which allowed them to formally open their studio in Los Angeles in 2010.
The Haas Brothers had a solo show at the Bass Museum of Art in Miami, Florida (December 2018 - April 2019). They have also been included in group exhibitions at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, the ArtScience Museum in Singapore, and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. Their works are included in major collections including the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York, NY; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence, RI; and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
They are represented by R & Company and Marianne Boesky Gallery, both in New York, and by Lora Reynolds in Austin, TX.
