Galerie Ficher Rohr - Basel - Switserland

.
I have been active in the field of art since 1980, in projects including the restoration of the Pelourinho district of Salvador-Bahia, the restoration of São Paulo City Theater, and the post of director of the 20th São Paulo Biennale.

In 2005, based on these experiences and my wide-ranging contacts with artists, I decided to open my own gallery in Basel. The gallery’s aim is not primarily to provide a sales platform for art, but to organize exhibitions guided by special conceptions. This philosophy was shaped by my past involvement with art.

We have always set great store in looking behind the artwork to discover the artist as an individual. Our dealings with artists are generally familiar and personal in character. In order to understand their art, inspirations, and statements, it is also important to exchange ideas with curators and art historians, enabling us to publish catalogues of our exhibitions. These are intended to supplement artists’ visual statements by verbal communications. This type of exhibition also corresponds with the artists’ wishes, and meets them with the respect they deserve.

Often artists themselves select works with an eye to conveying a certain message and install these seamlessly in our spaces. The enthusiasm shown by both artists and audiences encourages us to continue our work along these lines and develop it with passion – an ample reward for all of our efforts.

Galerie Guillaume Daeppen - Basel - Switserland

.
Since 2006 the gallery focus on a generation of young artists working essentially with new medias. With the show BORN TO BE PUNK (2009) the gallery confirms his new direction and continues to develop his programm and to question the concepts White Cube, Street, Urban or Guerilla Art as well the relations between art, fashion, illustration, design, music, internet and photography.
Urban art is a style of art being inspired by urban architecture or urban life style.
Urban art represents a broader cross section of artists that as well as covering street artists working in formal gallery spaces also cover artists using more traditional media but with a subject matter that deals with contemporary urban culture and political issues.

Situated in the bijou historic city centre of Zurich the gallery Alexander E. Räber represents around 15 contemporary artists which work in different styles and fields such as painting, sculpture, graphics, objects, jewellery and carpet. In three galleries practically lying next to each other at the Oberdorfstrasse and the Rössligasse there are approx. 2000 art works permanently on display.

A speciality of the gallery Alexander E. Räber is the large selection of bronze sculptures. The spectrum ranges from surrealistic to realistic and neo expressionistic works. Also within the range of painting the style pallet is broadly diversified and reaches from abstract to figurative painting. The extraordinary variety of techniques and formats makes it possible to find the suitable piece of art for any desired environment.

Gallery Mark Müller - Zürich - Switserland

.
The Gallery Mark Müller was founded in Zurich in 1990 and has since pursued a distinctive, continuous programme showing national and international positions in contemporary art. Typically we have shown artists that locate themselves in the abstract, conceptual and radical fields of contemporary painting, drawing and sculpture; or precisely in spaces of borders and tensions between the different techniques and approaches. A particular focus of ours is on painting, a field that we subject to continuous interrogation by showing positions such as those taken early on by Joseph Marioni or Katharina Grosse.

In our work we place equal importance on our long-standing collaboration with established artists – the gallery has, for example, been working with François Morellet since 1990 – as we do on promoting and supporting young, dynamic positions. In addition we provide artists who are not represented by the gallery with a platform by organising project-related exhibitions.

To ensure that artists represented by the gallery gain and retain international exposure we take part in a variety of art fairs, such as Art Basel, where we have exhibited continuously since 1993.

In March 2011, after an initial five years in the Schöllerareal, followed by fifteen years in Gessnerallee 36, the gallery moved to its current space, located in a renovated workshop in Hafnerstr. 44, not far from the Museum für Gestaltung and close to many other galleries in Limmatstraße.

Galerie zur Stockeregg - Zürich - Switserland

.
Established in 1979, Galerie Zur Stockeregg has exhibited a wide range of high quality vintage master photographs that spans the history of its medium from the 20th century to present. From inception, our mission has been to actively define, develop and ultimately engage the art community in the evolving history of photography.

The emphasis of the newly renovated space, which is divided into an exhibition room and a showroom, lies on the artists of recent and current photography, who contribute, through their commitment, to the art-historical, future development of photography.
We present artists of contemporary photography, focusing specifically on analogue photography that meets the strictest standards of both artistic value and quality. Our goal is to set forth and implement an educational and seminal message of distinct differentiation from that of digital photography ("digigraphy").

Due to our years of experience and great enthusiasm for photography, Galerie Zur Stockeregg is also willing to teach and advise new collectors about photography and to assist and guide them in expanding their collection over a period of time.

Galerie le Sud - Zürich - Switserland

.
Gallery le sud presents contemporary art of artists from Switzerland, the Mediterranean and Africa among others. Besides of that we show a great collection of tribal art, objects and sculptures from Africa and the Pacific oceans.

In the gallery le Sud, new tendencies of african art, particularly in the area of painting may be admired. The gallery builds a bridge to the black continent and marks a fixpoint for contemporary african art as well as for tribal art in Zurich. The gallery shows a choice of alternating collections of objects, statues and masks from Africa and Oceania.
The galerist and african travelling artist Ted Gueller connects the Limmatstadt Zürich with the african way of life and brings an exciting selection of objects of art, everyday items from tribal areas, textiles and masks to the city as rarely seen here before.

The gallery shows exhibitions of young artists, who have a formal relation to African topics, among them for example the recycling theme. Young artists with potential and with strong and impressive exhibitions are shown in the gallery in alternating exhibitions. In continuous intervals, also leading artists of the younger generation will be shown. At the same time the gallery holds a stock a few paintings from all artists which can be shown on demand.

The summer of 2012 saw the return of Galerie Bob van Orsouw to newly renovated – and larger – premises in the Löwenbräu Complex, one of Europe’s leading venues for contemporary art, vibrant home also to Kunsthalle Zurich, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst and several other galleries.

Die galerie stephan witschi existiert seit 2006. Früher arbeiteten wir unter dem Namen vernisSAGEfinis. vernisSAGEfinis entwickelte sich zu einem Zürcher OFF-Place. Der Name war Programm. Die Ausstellungen dauerten nur 1 Wochenende, waren dafür aber umso intensiver. Mit dem Erfolg stiegen auch die Ansprüche und so entschlossen wir uns im Jahre 2006 neue Räume zu beziehen und den Betrieb zu professionalisieren. Heute vertreten und betreuen wir rund 10 Künstler. Neben figurativer Malerei zeigen wir auch Skulpturen und Fotografie. Ein weiteres Standbein ist der Verlag. Wir publizieren bis zu 3 Künstlerbücher pro Jahr. 2009 entstand die erste Zusammenarbeit mit dem renommierten Steidl Verlag Göttingen. Weitere gemeinsame Projekte sind vorgesehen.
