Trouvailles : 45th – Anniversary Exhibition

Galerie Bob Gysin was established precisely 45 years ago, in October 1971, with the aim of showcasing the latest expressions of contemporary Swiss art and of promoting professional young artists. The exhibition “Trouvailles” – or “Discoveries” – has been designed to celebrate this special anniversary. For the first time ever, pieces by those called ‘their gallery artists’ are on display in a single space. Created in the context of each participant’s first ever exhibition at Galerie Bob Gysin, the works not only cover quite a long period, but reflect both the artists’ achievements and their relationship to the gallery. While some of the art presented here will be new to visitors, other works may still resonate in the minds of those who knew the gallery.  Alongside a piece from the estate of Bessie Nager, the show features works by Matthias Bosshart, Carmen Perrin, Andrea Wolfensberger, Christoph Schreiber, Teresa Chen, Georg Aerni, Christoph Hänsli, Dominique Lämmli, Anina Schenker, Karin Schwarzbek, Christoph Brünggel, Miriam Sturzenegger and Ray Hegelbach.
