Galerie Beyeler - Basel - SUI

The Galerie Beyeler's success story began over 60 years ago. It mirrors the life of Ernst Beyeler, who was born in Basel in 1921, the son of a railway worker. After leaving school, where he obtained a diploma in commercial studies, he attended university lectures in both art history and economics, while simultaneously working for Oskar Schloss, who ran an antiquarian book and print shop at Bäumleingasse 9. When Schloss died unexpectedly in 1945, Ernst Beyeler, who had by then gained some experience in the field, decided to carry on the business for Schloss's heirs. Just two years later, the gallery staged its first exhibition of Japanese woodcuts, which was soon followed by others. In 1951 the antiquarian bookshop was wound up and only the art gallery, which concentrated mainly on classic modern art and which organised exhibitions almost non-stop, remained in business. Due to the steady growth in its activities, the gallery subsequently took over an additional floor in the building as well as various storerooms.
Thanks to his excellent negotiating skills and his readiness to take risks, Ernst Beyeler was able to make major acquisitions from the Thompson Collection, including works by artists such as Klee, Cézanne, Monet, Matisse and Giacometti. Ernst Beyeler also had the good fortune to get to know Pablo Picasso personally, as a result of which he was able to select various works from among those in the artist's possession. In the course of its existence, the Galerie Beyeler has held more than 300 exhibitions, most of them of classic modern works. In the early 1980s it organised two major international exhibitions outside the gallery: "Sculpture in the 20th Century" in the Wenken Park in Riehen und in the Merian Park in Basel.
In parallel to their activities as gallery owners, Ernst and Hildy Beyeler built up a private collection of works that they liked so much they wanted to keep them.
The first time their private collection was placed on public display was in 1989 at the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. It was then shown at other exhibitions, in Berlin in Sydney and in Japan. Since 1997 the Beyeler Collection has been housed in the Fondation Beyeler, a public museum designed by the famous architect Renzo Piano that is located in Riehen on the outskirts of Basel.
Despite the existence of the museum, Ernst Beyeler continues to run the Galerie Beyeler. It is still located at Bäumleingasse 9, where everything first began.

Gallery Guillaume Daeppen - Basel - SUI

GUILLAUME DAEPPEN is located in the city of Basel, Switzerland. It shows emerging artists and exhibits works in a variety of media with an emphasis on works on paper, installations and photography.
Since 2006 the gallery focus on a generation of young artists working essentially with new medias and comprises Damien Comment (Swiss), Hilde Kentane (Belgian), Christophe Lambert (Swiss), Jean-Xavier Renaud (French) and Luca Schenardi (Swiss).
With the show BORN TO BE PUNK the gallery confirms his new direction and continues to develop his programm and to question the concept White Cube, Street, Urban or Guerilla Art as well the relation between art, fashion, graphic, design, internet and photography.
Actually GUILLAUME DAEPPEN presents about 6 exhibitions each year. It is not possible to react to new impulses in a short time. For this reason we have decided to split the gallery spaces in two different programs:
GALLERY FOR EMERGING ARTISTS developing and coaching a programm of young artists on a long term basis.
COUP DE COEUR # an off space for art | design | fashion | architecture open to new projects on a quarterly program basis.

Daniel Blaise Thorens Fine Art Gallery - Basel - SUI

Our company was incorporated in 1976 by Daniel Blaise Thorens, who is still the sole owner. The gallery started with important projects and exhibited work by famous Swiss artists as Cuno Amiet, Albert Anker, Giovanni Giacometti, Ferdinand Hodler and Alfred Heinrich Pellegrini. Works by world famous artists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Kees van Dongen, Edvard Munch, Alexej Jawlensky and Paul Gauguin were also exhibited by our gallery.
In 1982 Daniel Blaise Thorens met his future wife, Finnish born Riitta Thorens-Hietanen. She came from Finland to Basel to study art history at the University of Basel, where she graduated with an essay on "Le Corbusier as a painter". In 1987 our gallery began to purchase original works by Le Corbusier, and thereafter many exhibitions all over the world contained works by Le Corbusier owned by our gallery. We can claim, without any exaggeration, to have become one of the principal galleries for Le Corbusier's works, underlined by the fact that we have sold 1,700 works by Le Corbusier in one single decade.
Our company is the only gallery dealing in works by Alfred Heinrich Pellegrini (the grandfather of Daniel Blaise Thorens), one of the leading and most successful Swiss artists of the 20th century.
Further, we exhibit the works of many well known Swiss artists such as Anne Bruchesi, Luciano Castelli, Rosemonde Krbec, Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff, Walter Ropélé or international artists including Kamel Berkouk, Barbara Feuerbach and Noverre.
One of the highlights of our activities was a very special exhibition of David Bowie's visual art in our gallery in 1996. The exhibition did not only attract the attention of the public and the media, it also turned out to be a huge success with collectors, who bought almost all of the works displayed by our gallery. We are proud to say that as a result of our exhibition, David Bowie's visual art work has become a widely appreciated part of many important art collections all over the world.
