Paul Klee The Sylvie and Jorge Helft Collection

Drawing occupies a prominent place in the work of Paul Klee (1879–1940). Klee attached great importance to drawing, and in particular to the line as the principle from which the realization and visual generation of an idea emanates. This aspect is also a core interest of collectors Sylvie and Jorge Helft, who over almost five decades have assembled some seventy of Klee’s pencil, pen, and pastel drawings, as well as watercolors, etchings, and lithographs, created by the artist between 1914 and 1940. The Helfts’ Klee collection forms an extraordinarily coherent whole.

This book, published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana (MASI) in Lugano, features for the first time this unique selection from Klee’s oeuvre. A conversation between Sylvie and Jorge Helft and MASIS’s director Tobia Bezzola, as well as essays by philosopher Francisco Jarauta, art and literary critic Juan Manuel Bonet, and art dealer and curator Achim Moeller, complement the full color plates.

Tobia Bezzola is an art historian and has been director of the Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana MASI in Lugano since 2018. Previously, he served as director of the Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany, from 2013 to 2017.

Juan Manuel Bonet is an art and literary critic and former director of the lnstitut Valencià d’Art Modern in Valencia and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.

Francisco Jarauta is a Spanish philosopher and professor at the University of Murcia and scientific director of the lstituto Europeo di Design in Madrid.

Achim Moeller is an art dealer and curator and a distinguished international expert on nineteenth- and twentieth-century European art.

Enzo Mari (27 April 1932 — 19 October 2020) was an Italian modernist artist and furniture designer who is known to have influenced many generations of industrial designers.

ENZO MARI,

DAS DESIGN GEWISSEN Meine Gewohnheit, aus dem Atelier von Bruno Munari im Quartier Buonarroti / Wagner ins Hotel Speronari zu laufen, wurde zum Ritual und half bei der Verarbeitung des gesichtetes Archiv–Materials. Einige Monate davor, so um 1993, hatte ich dem Museum für Gestaltung Zürich den Vorschlag unterbreitet, eine Ausstellung über Bruno Munari und Enzo Mari zu machen. Basierend auf der Sammlung von Bruno Danese und Jacqueline Vodoz, Besitzer von Danese aus Mailand, einer kleinen und wichtigen Firma für kleine Objekte und Accessoires des Wohnens.

Alfredo Haberli — Verbal Gekritzelt

habe, bat Italo Lupi, den Direktor und Grafiker von «Abitare», mich zu fragen, was ich so mache als junger Designer und an was ich gerade arbeite. Beim nächsten Besuch in Mailand wurde ich eingeladen, meine Arbeit vorzustellen. So nahm ich einige Wochen später meine Dias mit, die ich im Kodak–Karussel (Design Gugelot) hatte, — in NYC war das eine übliche Art, sich vorzustellen — und ordnete sie in einer harten Kunststoff–Display–Mappe, die ich während meines Praktikums in New York im Pearl gekauft hatte, der grössten, fünfstöckigen Papeterie an der Canalstreet.

In der Redaktion am Corso Monforte 15, wo heute der Flos Showroom und unmittelbar gegenüber, im gleichen Hof, der Kvadrat Showroom steht, den ich 2007 gestalten durfte — wurde ich sehr herzlich empfangen. Da waren Silvia Latis, Stefano Casciani, ich glaube sogar Marco Romanelli und Italo Lupi. Es wurde zuerst fertig telefoniert, dann wurde Kaffee bestellt, der aus der Bar gegenüber der Strasse kam, und dann wurde meine Arbeit angeschaut.

Die Dia–Mappe wurde zuerst rasch in die Luft gehalten und dann genauer auf dem Lichtpult angeschaut. Meine Arbeiten aus dem Studium waren okay, doch das Interesse von Italo Lupi galt meinen Arbeiten als Ausstellungsarchitekt für das Museum für Gestaltung. Es waren die Grafik und die Gestaltung, die ihn sofort faszinierten. Ein Thema, das Italo Lupi mit Achille Castiglioni in diversen Ausstellungen gemeinsam bearbeitete. Das Museum für Gestaltung Zürich hatte eine unglaubliche Tradition und war mit Martin Heller als leitender Kurator und später als Direktor in einem europaweiten Hoch. 1986, ein Jahr bevor Martin Heller anfing, wurde die berühmte Ausstellung von Achille Castiglioni in der Halle gezeigt. Davor war sie in Wien.

Enzo Mari

Das Design Gewissen

Nr. 1» mit viel Patina. Vermutlich der Originalstuhl aus dem Jahre 1973. Ich setzte mich nicht.

Schliesslich kam Enzo Mari um die Ecke. Einen Süss–Stab in der Hand. Kord Hose, ein schlabberiges Jackett. Alternative Lederschuhe. Er sah mich ernst an. Leicht genervt, weil ich ihn vermutlich beim Arbeiten gestört hatte. Ich stellte mich vor, dass ich an einer Ausstellung und ein junger Designer sei. Sein Ausdruck wurde immer erster und dann bat er mich, ihm zu folgen.

Wir gingen in seinen persönlichen Raum. Und dann passierte etwas, was meine Beziehung zu ihm tief formte. Er hielt mir einen Vortrag über Design und dass ich mich nicht so nennen kann und sollte! Dafür verstünde ich von der Welt zu wenig. Dafür wäre ich zu jung. Das war wie ein Hammer und mit einer Sichel wurde ich enthauptet. Auf seinem Pult lagen Zeichnungen, Blätter und Fächer, angeschrieben mit EIN und AUS und da standen einige Tiere aus dem Puzzle «16 Animali» und andere Gegenstände aus der Industrie als Papier–Gewicht. An der Wandtafel zeichnete Enzo Mari mir Diagramme, die ich

teilweise nicht verstand. Aber auch meine Italienischkenntnisse reichten nicht. Ich kannte seine Arbeit schon gut. Was er sofort bemerkte und ihm vielleicht auch schmeichelte, aber dies liess er erst viele Jahre später zu. Nach über zwei Stunden wurde ich abrupt zur Türe begleitet. Und dann fragte er: «Was hätten sie denn Persönliches abzugeben gehabt?» Ich gab ihm meine Toblerone aus der Tasche. Enzo Mari wollte gerade ausholen, um mich über die Schweiz und die Industrie der Schokolade zu informieren. Doch er liess es sein. Schön war, dass Enzo Mari, mich bat, mich beim nächsten Mal anzumelden, einen Termin abzumachen und nicht einfach reinzuplatzen. War dies eine Einladung?

War es doch nicht so schlimm von mir gewesen?

Alfredo Häberli—Verbal Scribbles People, Places, Objects—1980 to 2022 30 Years, 30 Questions, 30 Answers Alfredo Häberli, who was born in Buenos Aires in 1964 and has been working from Zurich since the 1980s, is one of the world’s most widely acclaimed product designers.

Major international brands such as BMW, Camper, Georg Jensen, Iittala, Luceplan, Moroso, Schiffini, or Vitra are among his clients, for whom he has designed furniture, lamps, objects, tableware, or even entire interiors. Häberli’s work has been shown in numerous exhibitions throughout Europe and has earned him many awards over the years.

In the first of this book’s two volumes, Häberli looks back at the people, places, and objects that have influenced him and shaped his ideas and creative process. He tells of his visits with the great Italian designers, the British and American role models influencing him, and about inspiring exchanges with colleagues such as Konstantin Grcic, Jasper Morrison, or Patricia Urquiola. Moreover, his encounters with visionary entrepreneurs, and the places, locations, and objects that forged his understanding of design come into focus through text and images.

For the second volume, Häberli invited thirty personalities from his circle to ask him one question each, which he answers frankly and in good humor. These personalities include fellow designers, architects, critics, journalists, and creative directors such as Stephen Bayley, Tyler Brûlé, Francesca Molteni, and Alice Rawsthorn.

Alfredo Häberli, born 1964 in Buenos Aires, moved to Switzerland in 1977 and graduated in 1991 with distinction in Industrial Design from Zurich’s Höhere Schule für Gestaltung (today Zurich University of the Arts). Today, he is an internationally established designer based in Zurich and is working for some of the leading companies of the international design industry such as Alias, BD Barcelona, BMW, Camper, FSB, Georg Jensen, Iittala, Kvadrat, Luceplan, Moroso, Schiffini and Vitra.

HR Giger by Camille Vivier

The art of HR Giger (1940–2014), Swiss-born creator of the legendary monster in Ridley Scott’s movie Alien, is currently experiencing a renaissance and is featured in exhibitions as well as in magazines around the globe. This lavish large-format volume offers never-before-seen insights into Giger’s private house and garden, both of which are populated by biomechanical sculptures, airbrush paintings, Alien furniture, objects, prints, and self-portraits. French photographer Camille Vivier—best known for her work for Stella McCartney and Cartier—enjoyed exclusive access to the artist’s Zurich home and studio for this book, where she worked on her own as well as with models in a series of photo sessions.

Vivier’s around 200 photographs form an atmospheric tribute to the arguably most distinguished representative of Fantastic Realism. In addition to images of Giger’s studio and his life-size sculptures, Vivier has also documented some hundred objects and artworks, as well as his famous Alien-style garden railroad. In a brief text, Vivier also speaks of the enduring fascination with Giger’s art.

Camille Vivier, born in Paris in 1977, has been working at the inter­ section of art and fashion since the outset of her career as a photographer.

Her images are published in magazines such as Purple Magazine, i-D, and Dazed & Confused. Her clients include international fashion designers and luxury brands such as Stella McCartney, Martin Margiela, Isabel Marant, and Cartier.

Beda Achermann is a Zurich-based creative director, editor, and designer.

His firm Studio Achermann works for major international architects, artists, cultural institutions, galleries, fashion brands, and trade and industrial corporations.

Meret Oppenheim—My Album The Autobiographical Album “From Childhood Till 1943” and a Handwritten Biography

The complex, enigmatic work of Meret Oppenheim (1913–85) has lost nothing of its allure in the present day. Much has been written about her career and her art. Yet very little is known about the real person, who always remained secretive about herself and banned publication of any personal documents until twenty years after her death.

In 1958, Oppenheim put together an album that she titled Von der Kindheit bis 1943 (From Childhood to 1943). It has a dual identity of a diary and a work of art. It assembles photos, objects, notes, and brief texts, as well as ideas and concepts for artworks, and offers very personal insights into Oppenheim’s private life and thoughts.

This book features the entire album in true-size color reproductions and, for the first time ever, translates the full text into English. The album is supplemented with a previously unpublished autobiographical text by Oppenheim, which she compiled in 1970–71. Rounded out with an introduction by editors Lisa Wenger and Martina Corgnati, this beautiful book offers entirely new perspectives on one of the most distinguished woman artists.

Lisa Wenger, born 1949, is a niece of Meret Oppenheim. As one of the keepers of the artist’s estate, she has transcribed thousands of letters, notes and other documents by Oppenheim and her correspondents.

Martina Corgnati, born 1963, is an art historian, curator and critic.

She teaches as a professor of history of art at Milan’s Brera Academy of Fine Art and has curated numerous exhibitions on avant-garde and neo avant-garde art.

Isabelle Cornaro Fascination and Disgust of Matter

Isabelle Cornaro, born in 1974 and based in Paris and Geneva, holds degrees in art history and visual arts. She has a strong interest in experimental cinema and devotes herself to the narrative, symbolic, or economic origins of things. In her work she almost assumes an anthropologist’s manner to investigate people’s seemingly fixated attachment to often emotionally charged, even fetishized objects, creating large stage installations or short movies.

Jahrhundert eingesetzt, um seine Macht zu visualisieren und zu legitimieren 11.20 In solchen Bildern haben Objekte aus der königlichen Schatzkammer als Prestigeobjekte eine wichtige Rolle gespielt. Nach der Exilierung von Njoya wurde sein Cousin Mosé Yéyab der wichtigste Verbündete der französischen Kolonialverwaltung. Auch er benutzte die Fotografie, um seine Position als einflussreicher Mann zu untermauern. Als Beispiel dient uns eine Fotografie von George Goethe, der ursprünglich aus Sierra Leone stammte und ab 1931 in der Hafenstadt Duala das Studio Photo George betrieb.21 11 Im Bild lässt sich Yéyab inmitten von bemalten Schildern, Maskenträgern und hölzernen Maskenaufsätzen ablichten, die in drei horizontalen Ebenen arrangiert sind. Überragt wird die Komposition von sechs Maskenaufsätzen, die in ihrer Monumentalität mit Tsesah vergleichbar sind.

Wie in den Fotografien von Evans und Co. hat Goethe die Objekte sorgfältig ins Bild gesetzt. Die fotografische Inszenierung der Objekte sollte auch hier nicht ihre wahre Bedeutung hervorbringen, sondern sie diente höheren Interessen, in diesem Falle der Visualisierung von Yéyab als legitimem Herrscher. Auch wenn wir dies in Objektfotografien aus dem Globalen Norden kaum wahrnehmen, so sind auch sie durchdrungen von Machtaspekten und Interessen wie etwa der möglichst vorteilhaften Inszenierung der eigenen Sammlung und der damit verbundenen Wertsteigerung.

Pathways of Art How Objects Get to the Museum

Non-European artworks in European and American museums have become the subject of controversial debate. How exactly these collections of art from Africa, North and South America, Asia, and Oceania have been amassed in the Global North over centuries, and how such works continue to be acquired and traded today, is under close scrutiny, and claims for their restitution to the places and people of their origin are voiced loudly.

Zurich’s Museum Rietberg, one of Europe’s most renowned museums of non-Western art, has undertaken an extensive exhibition project to explore the thoroughly ambivalent history of its own collection. The essays in this illustrated reader published in conjunction with the exhibition investigate the pathways along which objects traveled to the museum. They shed light on how the meaning of these artifacts has shifted in the course of the transfers. And they demonstrate the importance of provenance research for learning comprehensively about, and taking a critical approach in, the assessment of the complex biographies of artifacts. Pathways of Art offers an important contribution to the current debate about the status and impact of non-European art in the Global North. It aims to foster awareness of the colonial and postcolonial contexts of trading and collecting such artworks and to help establish new museum narratives.

Esther Tisa Francini, born 1972, is an historian and head of archives and provenance research at Zurich’s Museum Rietberg.

Sarah Csernay, born 1984, studied art history and literary studies at the Universities of Zurich and Bern. She works as a research assistant in provenance research at the Museum Rietberg in Zurich.

as brushing teeth on camera. For the Migros Museum, they take this one step further by asking how rituals have changed in light of the global pandemic?

As I wrote in “The Healing of America”: The events of 2020 ask us to question how those who seek to change the world—whether through activism, community, or artistic practice—will maintain their mental health, when just thinking about the future creates anxiety.22 And now I ask how Evan’s own interest in a type of “erotic activism” through gender and Blackness will be part of that change also.

Will it be a pawn in what I have seen and witnessed? Which is to say: Conversely, many other organizations have been drawn to the glamorous work of promoting Black curators and administrators to positions of power and collecting Black artists’ work—important efforts, but that’s not strictly what’s meant by “anti-racist” work.23 Or will it be something entirely different? More specifically: Will it be through sheer willpower and adrenaline (and inevitable burnout)? [And possibly] through the type of “joyful militancy” that Federici writes about—in which “knowing ourselves and each other’s limits is increasingly important”?24 Afterall, isn’t that what real healing is about?

Evan Ifekoya Resonant Frequencies

Evan Ifekoya is an artist and energy worker who, through sound, text, video, and performance, confronts existing systems and institutions of power in order to recenter and prioritize the experiences and voices of those previously marginalized. Their practice considers art as a site where resources can be both redistributed and renegotiated while challenging the implicit rules and hierarchies of public and social spaces.

In an exhibition at Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in 2022, Ifekoya explores a cosmology of healing through sound, stillness, and the creation of intentional space— a site for reflection and contemplation as part of a large installation inside the museum.

Through explorations with sonic and visual artists as well as instrument makers, the show focuses on self-care and healing. It also showcases Ifekoya’s ongoing investigation into the somatic experience of listening, the healing potential of sound, and the spiritual dimension of sexuality.

This book, published in conjunction with the exhibition, features contributions from artists, curators, and writers, and by Ifekoya themselves. In an interview with the critic and researcher Kojo Abudu, the artist reflects on their journey to producing sound-led work, and their recent exploration of drumming and object making.

Michael Birchall is an art historian and curator at Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zurich. Prior to this he has been curator of public practice at Tate Liverpool. He previously held curatorial appointments at museums in Canada and Germany, and has lectured at Zurich University of the Arts.

ALICE prend en charge l’enseignement de projet en première année avec environ 250 étudiant.e.s.

Depuis 6 ans, le laboratoire inscrit sa pédagogie dans une pratique concrète, les HOUSES, conduisant ses étudiants à parcourir toutes les phases de l’architecture: du relevé de terrain à l’emprise sur celui-ci, du choix des matériaux à leur organisation, de la construction au démontage. Les étudiant.e.s apprennent à manipuler les outils tant intellectuels que manuels de la conception architecturale, ainsi qu’à mobiliser et orchestrer des synergies pour réaliser des constructions collectives à taille réelle dans des espaces publics.

Le bois s’est imposé comme matériau privilégié (provenance locale, manipulation aisée, légèreté) Le cycle d’enseignement des GARDENS/ HOUSES cherche à affiner et affirmer un dialogue avec le paysage, en considérant le sol, la topographie et la végétation.

n 1958 à Zurich s’est tenu la deuxième exposition nationale Schweizerische Ausstellung für Frauenarbeit (SAFFA) ou « Exposition Suisse du Travail des Femmes ». Deuxième exposition du genre, elle est organisée par des associations féminines, et vise à faire prendre conscience de l’importance du travail des femmes et encourage leur promotion. À cette occasion, l’architecte suisse Berta Rahm a réalisé la mise en œuvre du grand pavillon démontable du milanais Carlo Pagani et une petite annexe conçue par ellemême. Cette annexe a été redécouverte à Gossau (ZH) au printemps 2020 après une longue période d’oubli. C’est est l’une des rares pièces qui reste de l’exposition SAFFA 58 et du corpus d’œuvres d’une des premières femmes architectes suisses.

Une campagne a été lancée pour son sauvetage et sa reconstruction permanente à Zurich par l’association ProSaffa1958-Pavillon composée de chercheuses, d’architectes, d’artisanes et d’étudiantes.

De cette association et de méticuleuses analyses scientifiques est né un projet complémentaire mené par quatre femmes sous le nom de ANNEXE. Des propos essentiels sousjacents à l’annexe de Bertha Rahm.

Open House Designing Spaces for Living

The phenomenon of tiny houses fascinates as much as designing a home and is currently trending in various media. Yet interest in this architectural form is often superficial, driven by fantasies and lifestyle trends. In times of large migratory movements due to climate change, conflicts, or poverty and lack of economic prospects, however, there is an urgent demand for new types of temporary shelter. Open House discusses the topic of temporary housing in architecture, art, design, and humanitarian aid. Eighteen international authors explore the intentions behind such constructions, their underlying principles, and the lifestyle they convey. Their contributions reveal how these concepts relate to the very notion of habitat, to space, to pragmatic criteria, as well as to the time in which they are elaborated. Moreover, they address various issues of individual housing through the featured original installations and spatial experiments.

Open House is published in conjunction with a two-year research project and an openair exhibition of the same title in Geneva in summer 2022. Together, the book and exhibition comprise around forty designs by artists, architects, designers, architecture schools, research institutions, and humanitarian organizations, such as Andrea Zittel, Anupama Kundoo, Atelier van Lishout, Carla Juaçaba, EPFL Laboratoire ALICE, Frida Escobedo, Gramazio Kohler Research at ETH Zurich, John Armleder, Kerim Seiler, Matti Suuronen, Maurizio Cattelan and Philippe Parreno, Shelter Projects, and others.

Simon Lamunière is a curator based in Geneva and director of the Open House project and exhibition in 2021/22. His previous engagements include the Domaine du Muy (Le Muy, France, 2014–16), the Neon Parallax (Geneva, 2006–13), Art Unlimited art fair (Basel, 2000–11), the 11th Swiss sculpture exhibition Utopics (Biel/Bienne, 2009), the documenta X website (1997), and the Centre pour l’Image contemporaine (Geneva, 1992–2004).

Forever Jade Chinese Jade Miniatures from Four Millennia

Luminous, with a silken glow and soft to the touch, yet harder than steel, created by nature and shaped by human hand: no other material has been more highly valued in China for millennia than jade. Since humanity’s earliest days, magical properties have been attributed to the mineral. As a burial gift it confers immortality and is said to improve health when given as medicine, as a talisman it bestows good fortune and protection. It is hardly surprising that jade objects became sought-after collectibles as early as the 10th century.

Zurich’s Museum Rietberg is home to an exquisite collection of Chinese jade objects spanning four millennia. In his striking images, Zurich-based photographer Felix Streuli brings them to life and makes them glow. The images reveal the most intricate details and make these works of art almost tangible to the viewer. This book features around sixty of Streuli’s outstanding photographs, supplemented with concise texts on the objects they show and an introduction to the history of Chinese jade art. Interspersed short stories and poems revolving around the mythical gemstone and a reflection on the photographer’s gaze round out this carefully designed picture book.

Alexandra von Przychowski is a scholar of art history and sinology and curator of Chinese art at the Museum Rietberg in Zurich.

Felix Streuli is a Zurich-based freelance photographer. The photographic staging of art objects is a special focus of his work, which has received numerous awards and has been shown in exhibitions internationally.

Markus Rottmann is a freelance writer and creative director. He writes for film, theater, publishing houses, and museums, and also works as a scenographer for exhibitions.

The Never Taken Images Photographic Paper Archive 1880–1990

The Never Taken Images documents a unique long-term project that Swiss photographers Françoise and Daniel Cartier have been pursuing since 1998. They have put together a vast collection of unfixed photographic papers, glass negatives, and films, mostly dating from 1880 to 1990. Samples of these are mounted and displayed, and, over the course of several exhibitions, exposed to light, causing them to evolve towards color saturation. Instead of looking at still images, the Cartiers’ installations, titled Wait and See, allow viewers to perceive a kind of reality for themselves.

This book features the entire test catalog that the Cartiers have put together to date, showing some 900 different papers and photosensitive supports. These facsimiles offer an almost real impression of their formats, colors, and materiality. Essays by photo historian and curator Kathrin Schönegg and scholar of art history and critic Thilo Koenig supplement the images and place the Wait and See project in the art historical and technological context of abstract media art. The Never Taken Images also celebrates the industrially manufactured photosensitive support, representing the centrality of the long pre-digital period in the history of photography.

Daniel and Françoise Cartier, freelance photographer and visual artist respectively, form the artist duo F+D Cartier, based in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. Their experimental work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions internationally, including museums and galleries such as Musée de l‘Elysée, Lausanne (Switzerland), Musée de la Photographie, Charleroi (Belgium), Museet for Fotokunst, Odense (Denmark), Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie, Arles (France), Kunstbezirk, Stuttgart (Germany), Cinema Avorio, Rome (Italy), Cornerhouse, Manchester (United Kingdom), Yossi Milo Gallery, New York (US), Houston Center for Photography (US), H Gallery, New York (US), and Minnesota Center for Photography, Minneapolis (US).

exposition intitulée Lémancolia au catalogue richement documenté3. Tout un chapitre y est notamment consacré à Marcel Duchamp.

L’ultime œuvre de l’artiste, Etant donnés : 1° la chute d’eau 2° le gaz d’éclairage… (1944-1966) contient en effet une reproduction miniature de la chute d’eau du Forestay, située dans le Lavaux et qui plonge dans le lac Léman [ FIG 3 ]. On doit à Bachmann et à son compagnon Stefan Banz un impressionnant travail de recherche sur les origines de cette citation qui a abouti à l’organisation d’un colloque international4. Fascinés par cette découverte, Banz et

carried out impressive research into the origins of this quotation, which led to the organisation of an international4 symposium. Fascinated by this discovery, Banz and Bachmann produced a series of photographs entitled What Duchamp Abandoned for the Waterfall (20082009), showing the thousand chromatic variations of the landscape to which Duchamp turns his back and fixes his attention on the waterfall. It is this landscape, this spectacular view of Lake Geneva from Chexbres, painted

by Turner, Hodler, Kokoschka or Valloton, among others, that we find fragmented in Bachmann’s painting. One can recognize the twin reefs, the Mayen Tower and the Tour d’Aï,

Bachmann ont produit notamment une série de photographies intitulé What Duchamp abandonned for the Waterfall (2008-2009) donnant à voir les mille variations chromatiques du paysage auquel Duchamp tourne le dos en fixant son attention sur la chute.

C’est ce paysage, cette spectaculaire vue du Léman depuis Chexbres, peinte entre autres par Turner, Hodler, Kokoschka ou Valloton, que l’on retrouve fragmenté dans le tableau de Bachmann. On y reconnaît les deux récifs jumeaux, la tour de Mayen et la Tour d’Aï « qui se dressent dans le ciel, de manière ostensible et provocante, comme deux seins5 » ainsi que les décrivaient Banz, établissant, là encore, une correspondance formelle entre ce que propose le paysage et le sujet féminin de Etants donnés.

“rising ostentatiously and provocatively into the sky like two breasts5”, as Banz described them, establishing, here again, a formal correspondence between the landscape and the female subject of Etants donnés.

This disguised allusion to Duchamp’s work becomes even more apparent if we pay attention to the frame that surrounds the view of Bachmann’s landscape. It is reminiscent of the door with holes through which we enter Duchamp’s diorama. Banz has meticulously studied what this Duchampian setting owes to the work of the New York painter Louis Michel Eilshemius (1864-1941 )6. Indeed, from 1909 onwards, Eilshemius’ pastoral compositions show quite atypical frames [ FIG 4 ]. Their shape is less reminiscent of classical trompe l’oeil than of “voyeuristic7 spy eyes”. Some of the paint-

Caroline Bachmann 2013–2021

Caroline Bachmann is one of Switzerland’s foremost contemporary artists. Alongside her independent work in painting and drawing, she has also formed one half of the artist duo Bachmann Banz, together with Stefan Banz, since 2004. Together, the two founded the Kunsthalle Marcel Duchamp—The Forestay Museum of Art in Cully, Switzerland, in 2009. In 2013, Bachmann reinvented herself as an artist and turned to classical themes of painting. She engages deeply with the genres of portraiture, still life, and history painting and takes up existential questions of the metaphysical and the sacred, creating compositions that strive not for a materialistic grasp of reality, but for a depiction of the spiritual dimension of existence.

This first comprehensive and richly illustrated monograph traces Caroline Bachmann’s extraordinary journey through the medium of painting. Essays by renowned experts on Bachmann’s work and on contemporary Swiss art, as well as a conversation with the artist, reveal a creative self-discovery that is shaped by the ideals of artistic idols such as Marcel Duchamp, Louis Michel Eilshemius, and Arthur Dove, and set in motion by the courage to reinvent herself through subject, technique, and material.

Caroline Bachmann, born in 1963, studied graphic design at the École des arts décoratifs in Geneva. She lives and works as a freelance artist in Cully and Berlin. In 2007 she has been appointed professor and head of the department of painting and drawing at HEAD—Genève.

Julie Enckell Julliard is an art historian and a director at HEAD—Genève, where she has been head of the Cultural Development Department since 2018. Prior to this, she served as curator and from 2013 to 2018 as director of the Musée Jenisch in Vevey, Switzerland.

Beat Stutzer

Franz Bucher. Picture Fields In recent years, Swiss artist Franz Bucher, born in 1940, has produced an extensive series of paintings which he simply titles Fields: lavender, dandelion, rapeseed, and poppy fields congruent with the canvas to form a pictorial field. Yet Bucher’s objective is not primarily the pictorial. Rather, it is more about the two-dimensional space which is given an inherent structure by the largely monochromatic primary colors he uses, as well as his dynamic brushstroke. It becomes apparent that most of the artist’s oeuvre since the early 1970s has been determined by the metrical rhythm in his use of color. Bucher’s paintings constitute actual energy fields.

This new monograph offers a retrospective of Bucher’s entire body of work from the vantage point of his recent pictorial fields. It thus illustrates his true artistic intentions independently of the context of his chosen motifs.

Beat Stutzer is a Lucerne-based art historian, writer, and curator. He served as director of the Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur from 1982–2011 and as curator of the Segantini Museum in St. Moritz from 1998–2016.

The Swiss National Bank in Zurich The Pfister Building 1922–2022

In 1922, a decade after the Swiss National Bank had opened its neo-baroque building in Berne, the bank’s Zurich-based governing board moved into its own grand office building. This major work of the local firm of Otto and Werner Pfister is a key example of neoclassicism in Switzerland and provided Zurich with an architectural landmark at the top end of its famous Bahnhofstrasse.

Marking the building’s centenary, this book celebrates the Zurich home of the Swiss Franc. It describes in detailed and lavish illustrations the architecture and building history from the planning stage until today. This is supplemented by essays on bank architecture since the Middle Ages, the urban formation of Zurich, and the city’s development into a financial center in the late nineteenth century. In his contribution, the renowned Canadian British architect Adam Caruso compares it—from today’s perspective—with other central bank buildings and places it in the context of the Pfister brothers’ other public commissions, many of which occupy prominent locations in Zurich’s cityscape.

Richly illustrated with historical and new photographs, original plans, and other documents, this book pays tribute to a piece of public architecture that combines monumentality with pragmatism and republican modesty.

The Swiss National Bank, with its dual headquarters in Bern and Zurich, is in charge of Switzerland’s monetary policy and the guardian of the Swiss Franc.

Susanne Bartsch has been living in New York since 1981, where she has created a dazzling Gesamtkunstwerk through the creation of her iconic looks and legendary parties.

As an impresaria, artist-agent, and big-hearted, open-minded hostess, she moves virtuosically at the intersection of fashion, make-up, activism, art, music, and performance.

In a career as interior designer, researcher, author, and teacher that has spanned more than five decades, Verena Huber has engaged profoundly with the issues of living and staying. To this day, she continues encouraging people to question spaces and objects and to put them in new contexts. Uncompromising in her approach and always looking beyond national borders, she has been hugely influential in contemporary Swiss interior design.

Since the early 1980s, artist Beat Streuli has used photography and video to create works of strong visual force. Although cityscapes form the backdrop of his images, it is always people rather than architectural or structural elements that are in his focus. Streuli’s images have made him one of the world’s foremost exponents of street portraiture.

Switzerland’s Federal Office of Culture has awarded the 2022 Swiss Grand Award for Design to Susanne Bartsch, Verena Huber, and Beat Streuli. This book introduces each of them through a concise text and interview as well as a brief biography, illustrated with images from their archives.

The Federal Office of Culture in Bern is part of Switzerland’s Federal Department of Home Affairs. Its responsibility is to promote Swiss culture in the fields of literature, performance arts, film, visual arts, and design, and to preserve the country’s cultural heritage
