Ringier Collection: Collection at Work
New and recent acquisitions from one of the leading contemporary art collections in the world This book surveys the activities of the collection founded in 1995 by Swiss publisher Michael Ringier: from shows in the company's corporate buildings to museum exhibitions and the acclaimed annual reports designed by artists such as John Baldessari, Helen Marten and Rirkrit Tiravanija since 1997. An assemblage of printed matter, installation views in work sites and documentation of the collection with a focus on works that cannot easily be shown due to their size or fragility, the book demonstrates the scope of one of the most relevant contemporary art collections active today. Most of the works represented in the publication came into the collection after 2008 and the release of Blasted Allegories, the first book on the Ringier Collection. Walid Raad--who conceived the Ringier Annual Report 2021--conducts an extensive conversation with Michael Ringier and Beatrix Ruf.

Blasted Allegories
One of the most important contemporary art collections in Switzerland, the Ringier Collection is presented here through a selection of more than 400 works from artists ranging from John Baldessari (from whom the title of this book has been borrowed), Richard Prince, and Fischli / Weiss, to Urs Fischer, Rodney Graham, Karen Kilimnik, and Trisha Donnelly. Organised as a visual essay rather than an exhaustive account of the last two decades, the publication attempts to map the contemporary art scene by following alternative as well as mainstream currents. Edited by Beatrix Ruf, Director of Kunsthalle Zürich and Curator of the Collection, the book gathers together statements on different topics particularly relevant to understanding the present contexts of a scene whose main debates are often overshadowed by its globalised and market-driven aspects. English and German text.
