Kunsthaus Zürich
An attractive invitation to visit Kunsthaus Zürich, Switzerland's largest art museum, and the new exhibits of its permanent collection. In October 2021, David Chipperfield's new extension of the Kunsthaus Zürich will open for the public. The new wing doubles the museum's space for art display. Perhaps more importantly, it offers the opportunity to present larger parts of the museum's permanent collection in a new light and in new groupings. The Chipperfield building is now home to the renowned Merzbacher, Hubert Looser, and Emil Bührle Collections, all on permanent loan to the museum. The formidable selection of French impressionist paintings in the Emil Bührle Collection combined with K...
Feast of Color
For many years, as the Merzbacher Collection grew, it remained a well-guarded secret--lent generously but anonymously to museums, so that only a few curators understood its importance. In October 1998, it made its debut in The Joy of Color at Jerusalem's Israel Museum, and proved to be one of the most successful exhibits ever hosted there, drawing some 250,000 people. Since then the Switzerland-based Merzbacher Collection has also shown in London, and the New York Times has called it "one of the world-s finest private holdings of modern art." This book of its treasures spans more than 100 years of art-historical development and an abundance of movements, and includes work from Max Beckmann, Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde and Henri Matisse.
David Chipperfield Architects Berlin and the Kunsthaus Zürich
This book elegantly traces the genesis of David Chipperfield's extension for the Kunsthaus Zürich. David Chipperfield's new building for the Kunsthaus Zürich now stands in all its splendor on Zurich's Heimplatz, opposite the old museum building of 1910 designed by Karl Moser. Its opening to the public in October 2021 will make the Kunsthaus Zürich Switzerland's largest art museum. Following two previous volumes on Kunsthaus Zürich's architectural history and the design used to turn it into an art museum for the twenty-first century, this book documents the genesis of Chipperfield's extension from proposal through political debates about the entire project to the completed structure. It features a foreword by Chipperfield and an essay by Christoph Felger, executive architect for the project at David Chipperfield Architects Berlin, that discusses the design concept, the promise made with it, and its fulfillment. A conversation between Felger, director of the City of Zurich's Building Surveyor's Office Wiebke Rösler, Kunsthaus Zürich's director Christoph Becker, and architecture critic Sabine von Fischer, as well as numerous illustrations and plans round out this new volume.
The Architectural History of the Kunsthaus Zürich 1910 - 2020
The opening of celebrated British architect David Chipperfield?s extension building of Kunsthaus Zürich in the fall of 2021 will make this renowned institution Switzerland?s largest art museum. In the run-up to this milestone in the museum?s development, this new book looks back at its architectural history. It tells a lively story that starts in 1847 with the Zurich Artists? Society?s initial gallery building and had its first culmination in 1910, when distinguished Swiss architect Karl Moser?s Kunsthaus was opened. Over the past century, three major additions were carried out in 1925, 1959, and 1976, and many attempts for a visionary large-scale extension were made. Illustrated with historic images, reproductions of plans and drawings as well as newly drawn floor and site plans, the book documents all stages of constructing Kunsthaus Zürich.
