Terry Haggerty at Sikkema Jenkins, New York - through July 12, 2019 - Terry Haggerty’s paintings reveal the multi-dimensional possibilities within painting – bold color is used to enliven and give volume and depth to positive and negative space. A series of monochrome lines, corners, and edges fold around one another, activating gaps between geometric planes of color. Haggerty’s works embrace the tension between two-dimensional outline and three-dimensional form, creating images characterized as “half object, half painting.” - @terry.haggerty @sikkemajenkins #TerryHaggerty #SikkemaJenkins #vonBartha #NewYork #WallPainting #ContemporaryArtist #Painting #Architecture

Previously exhibited at Deichtorhallen Hamburg, we are very happy and proud to welcome Florian Slotawa's Obi-Picasso in our showroom @vonbartha Basel - Das Thema der Badenden ist ein klassisches Motiv der europäischen Kunstgeschichte und wurde von Malerfürsten wie Ingres oder Renoir und mit großer Vorliebe auch von Cézanne in Szene gesetzt. Nachdem Picasso's Badenden 2016 erstmalig – und wegen ihrer Fragilität vermutlich auch das letzte Mal überhaupt – zur großen Ausstellung The Sculpture of Picasso im Museum of Modern Art nach New York reisen durften, rückten sie für den Künstler Florian Slotawa und seine Ausstellung FLORIAN SLOTAWA: STUTTGART SICHTEN nun in unerreichbare Ferne. Der Künstler aber hatte eine Idee: Er baute die Gruppe kurzerhand aus verschiedensten ihm spannend erscheinender Materialien wie zum Beispiel einem Bügelbrett, einer Farbwalze, einer weißen Falttür, ebenso weißen Bilderrahmen, einem Schwerlastregal und anderen Alltagsgegenständen zusammen. Sämtliche Materialien besorgte Slotawa in einer großen Baumarktkette. Anstatt wie Picasso lediglich aus Alt Neu zu machen, setzt Slotawa Neues und Zweckentfremdetes zu einer Variation einer älteren Arbeit zusammen, woraus als OBI-Picasso gleichsam wieder etwas Neues wurde.

On view through 27 July 2019 KARIM NOURELDIN, "Equinox" - Titled Equinox, this series of works lend their name to the exhibition, acting as an entry point to new, large-scale textile works, handwoven in the increasingly rare ‘Panza technique’ from western India. As an ongoing and on-site collaboration between master weavers and the artist himself, this traditional craft-making process results in unique, floor-based artworks. - Images: Equinox, Installation view 2019, von Bartha Basel @karim_noureldin @vonbartha @artbasel @contemporaryartswitzerland @eccontemporary @baselartblog @baselswitzerland @basel_happens #KarimNoureldin #vonBartha #Equinox #Largescaledrawings #TextilePpieces #Largescaletextiles #Textiles #Worksonpaper #Artistarchive #Pencilonpaper #AbstractArt #ContemporaryArtGallery #ContemporaryArt #ArtCollection #SwissArtist

#SaveTheDate von Bartha is pleased to present its next exhibition on 27 July, 2019 : MIKE MEIRÉ, "NORTH-WEST" - Within Meiré's continuing work as a creative director, he has for many years navigated and in some cases deliberately trespassed the boarders between Advertising, Design and Fine Art. Within this capacity as a designer Meiré's has worked on several installation-based projects, which were commissioned by a variety of commercial companies as subversive means of product placement. However more recently Meiré has clearly defined his practice as an independent artist. As one line of work continues to inform the other Meiré's art-works reveal a profound understanding of popular culture. It is this knowledge, which allows the artist to explore the deep-rooted neurotises that inhibit today's societies and in turn challenge these through his work. - @mikemeire #UpcomingShow #OpeningSoon #MikeMeiré #vonBartha #Basel #Switzerland #ContemporaryArt #ContemporaryArtist #UpcomingExhibition #FineArts #Design #Advertising

Camille Graeser, Horizontal-Vertikal-Rhythmus, 1944-1946 on view @kunstmuseumbasel , alongside works by Moholy-Nagy, Mondrian and Paul Lohse - Camille Graeser, who was a key member of the circle of Zurich Concrete artists, described his artistic program in 1944: “Concrete implies a strictly logical approach to the creation and design of works of art, which have their own intrinsic laws. Concrete implies the exclusion of all unconscious elements. Concrete implies purity, law and order.” Camille Graeser was a furniture designer who ran his own studio in Stuttgart and took part in major exhibitions by the association Werkbund before having to return to Switzerland in 1933 as a result of the Nazis coming to power. He subsequently came to be one of the main representatives of concrete art in Zurich. - @vonbartha #CamilleGraeser #vonBartha #KunstmuseumBasel #Basel #Switzerland #ConcreteArt #KonkreteKunst #ModernArtist #Paintings

Currently on view @vonbartha Basel through July 27, 2019 KARIM NOURELDIN, Equinox - The exhibition presents new large-scale drawings, new textile pieces as well as previously unseen works on paper from the artist’s archive, dating from 1992 – 2015. Marking Noureldin’s fourth solo show at von Bartha, the presented works demonstrates the development of his signature abstract style across different mediums.

Currently on view @vonbartha Basel through July 27, 2019 KARIM NOURELDIN, Equinox - Displaying a fundamental interest in drawing, Noureldin’s work negotiates the intuitive and spatial aspect of this medium to produce the non-figurative, geometric crossings present in his large-scale drawings.

von Bartha @artbasel 2019 Visit us at Booth H12 Hall 2.0 ! - A nod towards the Bauhaus’ enduring influence on the gallery, von Bartha displays a seminal painting by Sándor Bortnyik – the founder of the Budapest Bauhaus movement and a key figure for the Hungarian avant-garde movement – to mark the school’s centenary year. Titled Bildarchitektur (1924) and painted in the Hungarian architect Alfréd Forbát’s Bauhaus studio, the work is regarded as one of the most important paintings of the Hungarian avant-garde movement. ‘Free-form’ works by Imi Knoebel explore colour, material, surface and space. A particular highlight is the seminal work Bochum (1999) – one of the only paintings to reference the artist’s renowned series Schlachtenbilder. American artist Landon Metz’s practice focuses on site-specific work, his visually dynamic paintings explore the language of abstraction and interact with the physicality of the surrounding space. - @andrewmbick @landonmetz @beatzoderer@terry.haggerty @karim_noureldin@jean_tinguely #ArtBasel#ArtBasel2019 #ArtFairs #Basel#Switzerland #MesseBasel#AugusteHerbin #ModernArt#ContemporaryArt #AbstractArt#GeometricArt #ImiKnoebel#AndrewBick #TerryHaggerty#LandonMetz #BorisRebetez#BeatZoderer #Marianne Eigenheer #KarimNoureldin #JeanTinguely#SandorBortnyik #CamilleGraeser#VerenaLoewensberg #Fritz Glarner #JoaquínTorres-García

ART BASEL 2019 - Hall 2.0 Booth H12

Also on view at our booth @artbasel, Joaquín Torres-García, Relief, 1927. - Pioneering modernist Joaquín Torres-García brought avant-garde boldness to his native Uruguay and a new awareness of Latin American art to the U.S. and Europe. Starting in the 1920s, when he was in New York, and continuing through the rest of his career, he made painted, wooden wall reliefs and sculptures, often done on rough, seemingly found pieces of wood. They are precariously assembled from humble materials: found wood haphazardly put together with nails, they are sometimes painted over the unfinished rough texture, or are carved or incised. They share something with what the artist calls his “Cathedral-style” and the structural paintings, but often in only the most tenuous ways. The lack of finish infuses them with a tactile presence while asserting that sophistication can be achieved while hewing to the handmade and, more importantly, homemade. Long before making something that looks slipshod became fashionable, Torres-Garcia recognized that making something that looks sophisticated was also a convention. Torres-García mentored artists like Juan Melé and Carmelo Arden Quin, who later rejected the embrace of antiquity in favor of a purer geometric abstraction, catalyzed by the effect that Swiss architect and designer Max Bill had on the 1959 São Paulo Bienal. - Image: Joaquín Torres - García, Relief, 1927, Painted wood, 20 x 29 cm (unframed) @artbasel @vonbartha #ArtBasel #ArtBasel2019 #vonBartha #ModernArt #ArtFairs #Basel #Switzerland #JoaquínTorresGarcía #Relief #Modernism #WoodPainting #AvantGarde

Equinox

OPENING NOW - until 9pm Karim Noureldin, EQUINOX Marking Noureldin’s fourth solo show at von Bartha, the exhibition demonstrates the development of his signature abstract style across different mediums. Displaying a fundamental interest in drawing, Noureldin’s work negotiates the intuitive and spatial aspect of this medium to produce the non-figurative, geometric crossings present in his large-scale drawings. Titled Equinox, this series of works lend their name to the exhibition, acting as an entry point to new, large-scale textile works, handwoven in the increasingly rare ‘Panza technique’ from western India.

We are very happy that "Relief No. 30" by Raúl Lozza and "Marco Recortado no. 2" by Juan Melé are now at the @themuseumofmodernart , New-York. Both works were exhibited by von Bartha @artbasel in 1991. - "Relief No. 30 expands the picture plane beyond the confines of the canvas and stretcher. The founder of his own experimental micro-movement in Buenos Aires in the 1940s, Lozza dedicated his career to the exploration of a kind of art that was non-illusionistic and non-metaphorical.

From 13 – 16 June, von Bartha participates at Art Basel 2019 with a group booth of contemporary works by Imi Knoebel, Landon Metz, Boris Rebetez, Andrew Bick, Beat Zoderer, Terry Haggerty, Marianne Eigenheer and Karim Noureldin in dialogue with modern artists including Jean Tinguely, Sándor Bortnyik, Camille Graeser, Verena Loewensberg, Fritz Glarner and Joaquín Torres-García. The works present an insight into the parameters of geometric shapes, painterly gestures and balanced compositions. A nod towards the Bauhaus’ enduring influence on the gallery, von Bartha displays a seminal painting by Sándor Bortnyik – the founder of the Budapest Bauhaus movement and a key figure for the Hungarian avant-garde movement – to mark the school’s centenary year. Titled Bildarchitektur (1924) and painted in the Hungarian architect Alfréd Forbát’s Bauhaus studio, the work is regarded as one of the most important paintings of the Hungarian avant-garde movement. @artbasel #ArtBasel #ArtBasel2019 #ArtBaselWeek #ArtShow #ArtFair #vonBartha #SándorBortnyik #Basel #Baselart #ArtCollection #Bauhaus #GeometricArt #BauhausDesign #Bauhausmovement #SneakPeek Image: Sándor Bortnyik, Bildarchitektur, 1924, Oil on canvas, 54 x 74 cm (unframed)

Verena Loewensberg was born on this day, 28 May 1912 in Zürich. - Loewensberg had a lifelong friendship with the painter Max Bill and his wife Binia, who shot this portrait. In 1936 she painted the first concrete pictures and helped in 1937 with the founding of an association of modern artists in Zurich. In the center were the Zürcher Konkreten. Loewensberg associated with Max Bill, Camille Graeser and Richard Paul Lohse. She participated in their successful group exhibitions. In addition, she was inspired by the work of Georges Vantongerloo and Piet Mondrian. Throughout her life, Verena Loewensberg refused to engage in any sort of restricting theoretical discourse. Her artistic oeuvre therefore covered an enormous scope, ranging from color field painting to monochromatic works. She occupied herself with the square, rectangle, circle and line, as well as with color and its interaction. Between mathematical principles of order and intuitive compositions, between emptiness and abundance, between non-color and colorfulness, between rest and motion, she created a stimulating interplay. Her stylistically diversified oeuvre started out from an open concept of concreteness, which bears witness to the artist’s intellectual and artistic independence as well as to the up-to-date character of her artistic contribution to this day. - Images: 1.

Boris Rebetez, Union, 2019 Boris Rebetez works with various media, concentrating on one central theme, namely space. His drawings, collages, sculpture and photographs deal with the perception of place, indoors and outdoors. Reminiscent of forms without function – be it structures, vessels or containers – Rebetez invites the viewer to consider the objects as traces or recollections of a utilization process. von Bartha will be showing works by Boris Rebetez @artbasel - visit us at Booth H12, Hall 2.0 from 13 - 16 June, 2019.

#UpcomingExhibition : KARIM NOURELDIN, Equinox, opening on Monday, 10 June 2019 from 6-9 pm @vonbartha Basel. Displaying a fundamental interest in drawing, Noureldin’s work negotiates the intuitive and spatial aspect of this medium to produce the non-figurative, geometric crossings present in his large-scale drawings. Titled Equinox, this series of works lend their name to the exhibition, acting as an entry point to three new, large-scale textile works, handwoven in the increasingly rare ‘Panza technique’ from western India. As an ongoing and on-site collaboration between master weavers and the artist himself, this traditional craft-making process results in unique, floor-based artworks. @karim_noureldin @artbasel #KarimNoureldin #vonBartha #UpcomingExhibition #OpeningSoon #ArtBasel2019 #ContemporaryArtist #SwissArtist #Drawings #Textile #GeometricArt #AbstractArt #Basel #Switzerland

László Moholy-Nagy, Construction, 1924, on permanent loan at the @staedelmuseum in Frankfurt am Main At the tender age of 27 years Moholy-Nagy was made Professor when he took up the position of instructor of the foundation course and the metal workshop at the Bauhaus in Weimar. He strove to link art, engineering and life. Moholy-Nagy experimented with telephones and designed so-called light-sculptures. There was hardly a medium he did not know how to use - and hardly an artist, as innovative as him. Even so the Hungarian kept painting, through geometric reduction he clearly showed his artistic convictions. #LászlóMoholy-Nagy #Moholy-Nagy #StaedelMuseum #FrankfurtamMain #Frankfurt #Germany #Museum #ModernArt #HungarianArt #Construction

Last day to see MARIANNE EIGENHEER @vonbartha - until 4 pm Exhibited in collaboration with the artist’s estate, the gallery pays homage to Eigenheer’s multimedia trajectory, spanning four decades of creative output. Originally a trained pianist, Eigenheer discovered her passion for Fine Arts through her academic education in art history. As an artist, she was particularly prominent and a key female figure within the international art landscape during the 70s and 80s. In this vein, von Bartha highlights recently rediscovered early works from this period in dialogue with those from her later oeuvre. #vonBartha #MarianneEigenheer #Endingsoon #LastDay #LastChance #Swissartist #Basel #Switzerland #Abstraction #Figuration #ContemporaryArt #Drawings #Sculptures #Paintings

Imi Knoebel, Lina-Liza-Strasse 4, 2000, from the von Bartha collection and Auguste Herbin, Un, 1952 - Imi Knoebel is known for his theoretical approach to colour, form and surface. His powerful use of colour combinations work to reveal the physical potentialities behind often rudimentary materials; by reducing art to its most formal elements, Knoebel highlights the possibilities inherent within these materials and structures. Through a career spanning over 50 years, he has revisited these themes and materials in various ways. Auguste Herbin is known for abstract compositions in bright, buoyant colors, as well as being a cofounder of the abstract purist groupsAbstraction-Création and Réalités Nouvelles in mid-century Paris. In 1942, Herbin created his “alphabet plastique,” a concept described in the book L’art non-figuratif non-objectif (1949) as a system relating color, shape, music notes, and letters. These forms became the language of his paintings, which he continued to create until his death in 1960. - #ImiKnoebel #AugusteHerbin #vonBartha #AbstractPainting #AbstractArt #Collection #ArtGallery #Contemporaryart #Basel #MinimalArt #Switzerland #AbstractionCreation #RealitesNouvelles #AlphabetPlastique #NonObjective #NonFigurative

Repost @terry.haggerty Terry Haggerty's solo show at the Center for Contemporary Non-objective Art in Brussels, 2009 - Haggerty is known for paintings that express the formalist vocabulary of abstraction in a new way. The principle of serial composition can be discerned in Haggerty’s work: light-colored stripes alternate with darker ones to form regular, often horizontal arrangements, which also have a pattern-like quality due to their dense structure. This would not seem particularly remarkable were it not for the fact that Haggerty breaks this linear formation at the edges of the painting — and occasionally also at the symmetrical center of the composition—by bending the lines in a different direction as they approach the boundaries of the painting support. This has a crucial effect on the overall pictorial appearance, in that it immediately transforms the planimetric structure of the painted motif into an illusory perception of three-dimensionality within the image.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Boris Rebetez has turned his attention to a new field: collages. From visual source material found in magazines and journals he creates new, unreal and constructed landscapes. Locations and spaces, seemingly familiar, dissolve before the observer's eyes or retreat from his view. It is important to the artist that the visual material is familiar and that it is through his intervention, the cutting, pasting and reassembling of images, that something entirely new is created. The authenticity of this colourful picture world is thus examined; the viewer is challenged to think about the veracity of the images. With his collages, Rebetez contributes to the contemporary discourse on the boundaries, or rather lack thereof, between painting and photography. - Paul Tanner in "Walking Day, Boris Rebetez", Graphische Sammlung der ETH Zürich, Schwabe & Co - @vonbartha @kunstmuseumbasel @contemporaryartswitzerland #BorisRebetez #vonBartha #Collages #ContemporaryArt #ContemporaryArtist #Landscapes #Constructed #Locations #ArtGallery #Basel #Switzerland Images: Boris Rebetez, untitled, photo collages from 1999 to 2013, 14.5 x 20.1 cm each

Currently in our showroom, @vonbartha Basel BEAT ZODERER, Flickenball - During the largely spontaneous process of creating works, Beat Zoderer is guided by an attempt to create order in chaos. To facilitate this he sometimes draws on the formal language of historic works of geometric abstraction. The complexity of each piece consciously allows for imperfections and mistakes. It is this self-contradicting and ambiguous quality of the works that gives them the playfulness that probably best characterizes the artist and his work. - @beatzoderer #BeatZoderer #vonBartha #Flickenball #Sculpture #Aluminium #ContemporaryArt #ContemporaryArtist #Switzerland #ArtGallery #Basel #GeometricAbstraction #Abstraction Text: @barthacontemporary Image: Beat Zoderer, Flickenball, 2014, Acrylic on Aluminium, riveted, 70 cm diameter

Last days! RICARDO ALCAIDE, SUNSET @vonbartha, S-chanf Ricardo Alcaide has created a ‘fictionalised’ system out of MDF, made up of a series of seven rectangular units, or (non) shelves. The artist has removed most of the shelving to create a shallow depth which implies that – like the sunrise’s descent into the horizon – nothing is ever fixed. Reflecting on the process of deterioration, Sunset explores the failure in striving for perfection in an inherently imperfect, and shifting world. Painted in layers of yellows, pinks, purples and blues, it epitomises the notion of a transitory and auspicious moment. In Sunset, the tactile memories of fictional shelves contained within each unit appear randomly placed, and yet each piece shares one line that, like the horizon, serves to connect and propel the installation forward. In so doing, the installation narrates the ever shifting nature of the connected whole and the impossibility of ever stopping the sun.

Last day to see "All Tomorrow's Parties" by Felipe Mujica @vonbartha Basel. The collection of Mujica‘s studies on display at von Bartha represent a selection from a larger body of work by the artist, comprised of drawings, collages, computer drawings/printouts and documentation in the form of colour photographs, slides, and video. Preparatory work for Mujica’s final installations, they reveal a process of evolution from mostly 2-D mural pieces towards more objectual, spatial and architectural works – encompassing time spent by the artist working across Santiago and more recently, New York. - @el.musgo.mujica #FelipeMujica #vonBartha #ArtGallery #Switzerland #ContemporaryArt #Installation #Studies #ContemporaryArtist #Basel #NewYork #LastDay

@thearmoryshow goes on today until 7 pm. Come visit us at Pier 94, Booth 912 ! The gallery presents a dynamic exchange between three modern artists: Jesús Rafael Soto (Venezuela, 1923 – 2005) László Moholy-Nagy (Hungary, 1895 – 1946) and Antonio Calderara (Italy, 1903 – 1978), and five contemporary artists: Imi Knoebel (Germany, b. 1940), Landon Metz (US, b. 1985), Terry Haggerty (UK, b. 1970), Karim Noureldin (Switzerland, b. 1967) and Anna Dickinson (UK, b. 1961) as well as a curated wall with works on paper. @anna_dickinson_glass @landonmetz @karim_noureldin #imiknoebel #jesusrafaelsoto #landonmetz #karimnoureldin #laszlomoholynagy #antoniocalderara - #TheArmoryShow #vonBartha #ArmoryWeek #ArtFair #ArtFairNYC #TerryHaggerty #KarimNoureldin #AnnaDickinson #JesusRafaelSoto #ArtFairs #ArtGalleries #ContemporaryArt #ModernArt

The simple, essential abstraction of Calderara is an evolution – but in a more lyrical, more irreducibly human key – of the abstract/concrete painting of the 20th century, a certain modernist output (Mondrian and Albers, above all others). His lyricism is composed of the formats, the material thickness of the small panels. The thin, invisible lines, never too definite or assertive. Their tremors and uncertainties. The subdued, delicately impure tones, porous and permeable to their neighbors. The relationships of force (between areas, color fields, etc) that are always potentially swappable, like equivalent possibilities. An atmospheric, landscape-like quality always present in the paintings: like a dense mist laden with light, blurring contours and relationships between things." - Davide Ferri, Rome, 2013 - This beautiful late work by Calderara is shown at our Booth @thearmoryshow alongside works by @anna_dickinson_glass @landonmetz @karim_noureldin #imiknoebel #jesusrafaelsoto #antoniocalderara #landonmetz #karimnoureldin #laszlomoholynagy - visit us at Pier 94 - Booth 912 ! #TheArmoryShow #vonBartha #ArmoryWeek #ArtFair #ArtFairNYC #TerryHaggerty #KarimNoureldin #AnnaDickinson #JesusRafaelSoto #ArtFairs #ArtGalleries #ContemporaryArt #ModernArt - Images: 1.

Von Bartha is proud to be featured in @artsy ’s latest article « The 20 Best Booths at The Armory Show 2019 » "Von Bartha’s booth offers a dynamic mix of modern and contemporary artists whose abstract works, many in muted primary colors, create a thoughtful exchange. Contemporary figures like Landon Metz and Imi Knoebel are shrewdly paired with works by their forebears—including Jesús Rafael Soto and Antonio Calderara—to create a resonance between generations.

Today is public day @thearmoryshow Visit us at Booth 912, Pier 94 ! This beautiful work by @terry.haggerty is also on view on our booth. Haggerty’s recent works oscillate between flat and two dimensional space, as well as positive and negative elements, to convey a dynamic and sculptural appearance - shown here alongside site-specific paintings by Landon Metz, the works similarly explore theoretical approaches to colour, form and surface.

We are proud to show the latest body of works by @anna_dickinson_glass on our booth 912, Pier 94 @thearmoryshow Glass sculptures by Anna Dickinson indicate the artist’s dedication to craftsmanship, creating exquisite vessels in a range of colours and shapes, often combined with metal or other materials.

From 7 – 10 March 2019, von Bartha participates for the third time in The Armory Show, New York. A specially curated section of the booth displays works on paper exploring works by artists including Calderara and Moholy-Nagy - a key member of the Bauhaus movement, which marks its centenary year in 2019. These are shown alongside contemporary pieces from artists such as Noureldin, whose design, geometric compositions and fine textures also reflect Calderara’s geometric vocabulary, refined colour palette and precise measurements. - @thearmoryshow @landonmetz @anna_dickinson_glass @karim_noureldin @terry.haggerty #LandonMetz #AnnaDickinson #KarimNoureldin #TerryHaggerty #imiknoebel #jesusrafaelsoto #antoniocalderara #laszlomoholynagy @vonbartha #newyork #TheArmoryShow2019 #TheArmoryShow #vonbartha #ArmoryNYC #ArtFairs #ArmoryWeek #ArtFair #ArtFairNYC Images: 1.

Finishing today: "presque rien" @geukensdevil in Antwerp, with works by Ricardo Alcaide, Carl Andre, Peter De Meyer, Ode de Kort, Luke Diiorio, Matthew Feyld, Julius Heinemann, Istvan Ist Huzjan, Alicja Kwade, Nicolas Lamas, Daniel Levine, Bernd Lohaus, Richard Nonas, Jaromir Novotny, Wilfredo Prieto, Ted Stamm, Dan Van Severen, Johannes Wald, Marthe Wéry 'Presque rien' reunites artists from different generations, nationalities and disciplines around the idea of '(Almost) Nothingness'. The show doesn’t refer to the philosophical thought that denies meaning and value to our existence but wants to reveal - on the contrary - the value of seemingly minimalistic realizations.

New works by @beatzoderer are currently exhibited at galerie Ruzicska in Salzburg, Austria. "First Appearance & New works" runs through 3 April, 2019. - Beat Zoderer predominantly uses everyday materials as a basis for his work. The artist sources his materials from general hardware stores. Rather than altering them, Zoderer makes use of these materials within what at first appears to be methodical structures based on repetition or mathematical systems. However this is a deception, as each piece allows for an arbitrary element. - #BeatZoderer #vonBartha #Salzburg #Austria #ArtGalleries #NewWorks #Ruzicska #GalerieRuzicska

RICARDO ALCAIDE
Sunset

RICARDO ALCAIDE, Sunset: opening today @vonbartha 's S-chanf space from 6-8 pm. Hope to see you all there to celebrate this wonderful exhibition! - Alcaide’s fascination with the sunset stems from his childhood – an experience he recalls as “the most mesmerizing of memories”. Unlike many of the artist’s previous works, this new installation is not comprised of found objects from the streets of São Paulo, rather Alcaide has created a ‘fictionalised’ system out of MDF, made up of a series of seven rectangular units, or (non) shelves. - @alcaidericardo @vonbartha #ricardoalcaide #vonbartha #opening #artshow #artgallery #engadin #schanf #art #contemporaryart #switzerland #rainbow #color #sunset #joinus #Rainbow #Installation

New York Times just published a feature on SUPERFLEX in connection to their @_desertx installation DIVE IN that has opened February 9th! - Under the dusty memory of the Coachella Valley lie the imprints of its underwater past: numerous rests of fossilised shells remain testimony of a radical transition from seabed to desert. One hundred miles inland from the Pacific shore, early Spanish settlers discovered these troves of ancient shells, leading them to name the valley Conchilla (“little shell”). This name later mutated to its Anglicisation “Coachella”, thereby erasing the fact that six million years ago, this desert was connected to what is known as the Western Interior Seaway. Now holding the temporarily status of desert, the valley is quietly awaiting the return of the ocean in recognition of rising water levels caused by global warming. As a meeting point between its certain past and most probable future, SUPERFLEX proposes Dive-in, an architectural installation functioning as drive-in cinema while awaiting to become infrastructure for fish. Using the preferred palette of the Walter and Leonore Annenberg, Palm Springs, and marine polyps, the pink coral-like walls of Dive-In are structures created to serve the needs of both humans and marine creatures. Dive-In is commissioned by Desert X in collaboration TBA21-Academy. - @_desertx @ nytimes @coachella @tba21academy @superflexstudio @superflexjakob @vonbartha With amazing soundtrack by @iamjonsi @cmvonhausswolff aka #DarkMorph #deepseaminding #superflex #divein #verticalmigration #sigurros #Coachella #nyTimes #vonBartha

SUPERFLEX, Copy Right (White version), 2006. Upcoming @hauskonstruktiv : CONCRETE CONTEMPORARY - Now is always also a little of yesterday and tomorrow. Opening: 6 February 2019, 6 pm – until 5 May 2019 curated by @sabineschaschl - How does contemporary art handle the constructivist, concrete and conceptual art of the 20th century? What is its stance on that art’s ideas, accomplishments and sometimes utopian projects? Does it merely use its repertoire of forms and colors, or does it also access the concepts behind them? Taking the question of the extent to which contemporary art production latches onto our art-historical heritage as a starting point, Museum Haus Konstruktiv presents a large-scale group exhibition that has the nature of a statement. Under the title Concrete Contemporary – Now is always also a little of yesterday and tomorrow, on all four floors of Museum Haus Konstruktiv, works by over 30 artists from Switzerland and abroad are on display. Set out as a route, on which threads from art history are incorporated, combined and extended, Concrete Contemporary is to be seen as a snapshot of constructivist-concrete and conceptual work with a currency that is asserting itself today in an extremely multifaceted and lively way. With works by: Sâadane Afif, @ottoberchem, Otto Berchem & @amaliapica , @andrewmbick , @vanessabbbilly , @stefan.burger , @valentin_carron , @fleetinghere Chris Cornish, @josedavila , Philippe Decrauzat, Svenja Deininger, @lara_favaretto , Fernanda Gomes, @clare_goodwin_zurich , @diango.hernandez, @herbert.hinteregger , @wyattarden , @jajankiefer , @alicjakwade , @iharoonmirza , @timonasseri , Michael Riedel, Walid Raad, @berndribbeck , Karin Schwarzbek, @animal_que_no_existeix Daniel Steegmann Mangrané, @david.renggli , Martin Soto Climent, @esther_stocker_studio , @katjastrunz2018 , @superflexstudio @superflexjakob, @sofie.thor -sen, Thomas Vinson, Werner von Mutzenbecher #SUPERFLEX #hauskonstruktiv #vonBartha #Switzerland #ArtGalleries #Zurich

Currently on view at von Bartha, Basel: FELIPE MUJICA, All Tomorrow's Parties Appropriating its title from a 1967 Velvet Underground song, the exhibition presents three projects which intertwine and complement each other, conceptually, spatially and historically: a selection of recently commissioned curtain-works, a collection of studies made by the artist since 1995, and an artist-book in the form of homage to the Argentinean concrete artist Claudio Girola. The show marks the artist’s second exhibition with the gallery. There Are No More Exotic Countries in Latin America (2018), unites a series of 20 curtains made collectively by a group of volunteers for the exhibition Shout Fire!, curated by Mariangela Mendez-Prenke at Röda Sten Konsthall in Gothenburg, Sweden last Summer. Created as part of an open workshop where individuals of different ages and levels of embroidery expertise (mostly women) worked side by side with the artist, the proccess became a horizontal and collective learning experience. Over the course of two weeks, textile knowledge and personal histories were exchanged between Mujica and the embroderes, at moments interrupted by Fika - the traditional Swedish coffee break – whereby the artist witnessed the curtains gently adapt to the context of their production. - @el.musgo.mujica #FelipeMujica #vonBartha #NewExhibition #NewShow #ContemporaryArt #ArteConcreto #ContemporaryArtist #Installation #LatinAmericanArt #Basel #ArtGallery #Switzerland

Visit us today and tomorrow in the #Engadin at von Bartha, S-chanf from 12 - 6 pm! - Entitled I-131311, the work on display is described by the artist as an ‘instrument’: a set of mechanically linked architectural elements which are manipulated by the viewer, or ‘player’, within the space. The instrument acts as a mediator, manipulating the perspective of the viewer and shaping the player’s perception of cause and effect. By toggling between the linear and rotatory, temporal and spatial stability is disrupted. I-131311 invites us to re-imagine the architectural environment as an orchestrated field of stasis and change. - #SarahOppenheimer #vonBartha #Schanf #Switzerland #Installation #ContemporaryArt #Architectural #ArtGallery #EngadinArtTalks

On view until January 28 at von Bartha, S-chanf: SARAH OPPENHEIMER, l-131311 - Entitled I-131311, the work on display is described by the artist as an ‘instrument’: a set of mechanically linked architectural elements which are manipulated by the viewer, or ‘player’, within the space. Embedded within the gallery walls, the instrument resembles movable windows and doors. Activated by touch, the manipulation of its elements causes a chain reaction: pivoting a window opens a wall, whilst rotating a column constricts the dimensions of a doorway. The artist creates the potential for this sequence of events through mechanical linkage – a helical screw at the center of the piece transforms rotary motion into linear oscillation, thus shaping the instrument’s mobile path. For the instrument to function, timing between the linear and rotary motion must be precise. - #SarahOppenheimer #vonBartha #Schanf #Engadin #Switzerland #Architectural #ContemporaryArt #Installation

Ricardo Alcaide in "presque rien" at Geukens & De Vil, Antwerp, Belgium

Last day to see Connect With Us by SUPERFLEX - visit us today @vonbartha Basel until 4 pm ! - Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency to be released into the market in 2009 and is to date the largest of more than a 1000 cryptocurrencies. Based on a mathematical principle of decentralised and distributed ledger, the digital currencies allow for – in theory – unrestricted and free transactions, characteristics appealing to both anarchistic and neoliberal agendas. In a paradoxical way, Connect With Me translates the intangible substance of cryptocurrencies into sculptures by giving form to the only non-metaphorical image we have of them: progress over time. When initially viewed the sculptres present as modernist, minimal art object. Seen from a bird’s-eye view the motive reveals itself as an image familiar from the world of economics. - @superflexstudio @superflexjakob @superbstar1 #SUPERFLEX #vonBartha #Installation #Basel #Bitcoin #ConnectWithUs #Cryptocurrency #Crypto #Cryptocurrenciesnews #PoliticalArt #ArtCollective #BitcoinArt

Claudio Girola was born in Rosario, Santa Fe, in 1923. As a small child he moved to Buenos Aires with his family. Together with his brother Enio Iommi, he began his artistic studies at his father’s sculpture workshop. In 1939, he joins Manuel Belgrano Fine Arts School, institution that he then abandons in 1943, when he sings with Maldonado, Hlito and Brito, the “Four Youngsters Manifesto”, in witch they expressed their opposition to the teaching guidelines. Subsequently, he moves to Chile, where he develops most of his artistic work, executes several exhibitions, and works as a professor in the Architecture School in the Catholic University of Valparaíso. He dies in 1994, in Viña del Mar, Chile. - A new artist-book titled Un Argentino perdido en Chile [An Argentinean Lost in Chile] (2018), by Felipe Mujica, pays homage to the Argentinean artist Claudio Girola. Divided into three chapters, the book presents the lesser-known aspects of Girola’s sculptural experiments. The book will be available soon @vonbartha in conjunction with Felipe Mujica’s exhibition, All Tomorrow’s Parties opening next Thursday, January 24, 6-8pm at von Bartha, Basel. - @el.musgo.mujica #ClaudioGirola #FelipeMujica #NewBook #NewExhibition #OpeningSoon #vonBartha #Basel #ModernArt #ContemporaryArt #ArteConcreto #LatinAmericanArt Images: 1.

Currently in our Showroom: Landon Metz, Untitled, 2018, Dye on canvas - Metz’s practice revolves around the activity of painting, yet also incorporates the vocabulary of sculpture, installation as well as performance. By spreading thin washes of dye on raw canvas, the artist achieves varying degrees of coloristic saturations. Moreover, through the repetition of the same compositional arrangements, often in a sequence and beyond the margin of the canvas, Metz evokes visual dynamism and a sense of movement. - @landonmetz @vonbartha #LandonMetz #vonBartha #NewPaintings #AbstractPainting #MinimalPainting #NegativeSpace #Diptych #Switzerland #ContemporaryArt #ArtGallery #Basel Image: Landon Metz, Untitled, 2018, Dye on canvas, Two parts, each 127 x 101.6 cm

Only 4 days left to see "Connect With Us" by SUPERFLEX at von Bartha, BASEL ! - Taking its title from the slogan of Falcon bank – the first in the world to trade with bitcoin – the exhibition explores the significance and effect of cryptocurrencies and data within our global economy. Connect With Me is a sculptural work initially perceived as five abstract blue steel objects. Each have a certain viewpoint in which they appear as graphs. The graphs depict segments of the fluctuating value of Bitcoin during an 18 month period which contained the largest peak of value so far. - @superflexstudio #SUPERFLEX #vonBartha #ArtistsCollective #Installation #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrencies #Basel #ArtGallery #Switzerland #ConnectWithUs #ContemporaryArt Images: Connect With Us, installation view, von Bartha, Basel. © Courtesy von Bartha.

"My work has grown from visual codes linked to geometric abstraction, where the economic devices of image making are simultaneously an historical set of references and a set of creative tools. Also important in my formation has been the practice of collaboration as I constantly intertwine my own work with the work of others through the organization of exhibitions, group projects, publications, and so on. An example would be installations I have produced with fabric panels; which aim to be drawings that occupy space and also curtains that function as space organizers, as temporary walls that canalize the public’s circulation and perception of space as well as the perception of other possible art works in space. In this sense these installations are both an object of contemplation as well as a functional device, they become exhibition design and flexible temporary architecture: they can be used by other artists or curators. These fabric panels also refer directly to avant-garde movements such as Russian Constructivism or the Bauhaus School, as they intend to recover and restage the modernist ideal of democratization of the art object." - Felipe Mujica Felipe Mujica will present a solo show at von Bartha, Basel from January 25 to March 9, 2019 . @el.musgo.mujica Image: Felipe Mujica, There Are No More Exotic Countries In Latin America, 2018, "SHOUT FIRE!" group show at Röda Sten Konsthall, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Happy birthday to Karim Noureldin, who was born on this day, December 8, in Zürich! "Just a line. Starting with this fine-drawn motif, the artist has developed a colossal body of work over the years that has made its way across both paper and concrete. With the passage of time his practice has indeed come into its own in two perfectly distinct ways while striking out along less traveled paths that feed into each other. On the one hand, his drawing on paper has found its own raison d'être, i.e., it has drawn itself upright, as it were, in an imposing, vertical format and is displayed frozen within a frame that signifies its completion, allowing the sheet of paper to float in the depths that lie behind the glass. On the other, the artist has developed a group of works that are strictly wall bound and in which the design suits the architecture while line counteracts the building's edges and angles, echoes them, emphasizes them, vigorously breaks them up." - Karine Tissot, 2015 Karim is currently participating in CONSTRUCTOR, group show at Galerie N-Z, Arendonk, Belgium until December 15, 2018.

Olle Bærtling was born on this day, 6 December 1911 in Halmstad, Sweden. - Abstract painter Olle Bærtling was one of Sweden’s most seminal postwar artists. His works have a powerful optical effect, while appearing to extend beyond the two dimensional canvas. Influenced by European non-figurative art from the 1940s and American Post-Painterly Abstraction, his geometric works are transcendental in nature and showcase his own kind of psychological imaging. In addition, Bærtling envisaged an utopian future, which is reflected in his artworks. - Learn more about his work by visiting his artist page on our website - link in bio - #OlleBaertling #ModernArtists #Sweden #AbstractArt #Paintings #GeometricPaintings #OpenForm #vonBartha #ArtistsBirthday Video: Olle Bærtling interviewed the 19th of May 1960 by Torbjörn Axelman in front of Ogri, 1959 in a news segment in Aktuellt for the exhibition at Konstnärshuset, Stockholm.

We Are All in the Same Boat is SUPERFLEX's new solo show in the Museum of Art and Design (MOAD) at Miami Dade College (MDC). Taking place in the Freedom Tower, a building historically used for immigration processing, the exhibition raises topics of special relevance to the history, present and future of Miami. We Are All in the Same Boat is the largest exhibition of SUPERFLEX in the United States up to date. Through a broad selection of paintings, videos, sculptures and installations, SUPERFLEX reflect upon collective issues affecting the city of Miami, always in connection with the global scene. Migration, financial crisis, climate change and corruption are in the center of the exhibition discourse, in order to raise awareness and dialogue on concerning yet common topics in our society. The expression « We are all in the same boat » alludes to the shared risks and responsibilities of sailing together. In the context of the exhibition, the title reveals the underlying connection between the different works and topics, while emphasising a latent necessity for collaboration and cooperation to confront our common challenges. - @superflexstudio @superflexjakob @superbstar1 #vonBartha #SUPERFLEX #Miami #NewExhibition #ArtCollective #Exhibition #PoliticalArt #MuseumShow #Installations Image: We Are All In The Same Boat, Installation view, 2018, MDC MOAD, Miami

Beat Zoderer currently exhibits at PARK, Tilburg, Netherlands, alongside Jan van der Ploeg and Piet Dieleman: "Fields of Joy" - on view until December 16, 2018. The exhibition shows room-filling abstract geometric works that complement each other from a diversity in disciplines. Piet Dieleman’s large series of paintings is shown next to a monumental mural that Jan van der Ploeg made onsite, and a space-filling installation by Beat Zoderer. Fields of Joy is curated by Linda Arts. - @beatzoderer #BeatZoderer #FieldsOfJoy #PARK #Tilburg #Netherlands #vonBartha #JanvanderPloeg #PietDieleman #ContemporaryArtists #AbstractArt #GeometricAbstraction #Installations Image: Beat Zoderer at work @, PARK.

Happy birthday to Christian Andersson who was born on this day in Stockholm, Sweden! The artist presents alternative ways of interpreting the truth in order to illustrate that there is no single objectively true story. He poses questions about thinking and seeing to make us aware of the idea systems that penetrate us and that are continually evolving during the course of history. As a point of departure in art and architectural history, popular culture, literature, and the canon of western civilization, Andersson reminds the viewer that there are always alternative ways of looking at the world. - Last month, @christian_andersson_swe presented an incredible solo show at the galerie Nordenhake - a series of works that together make up a montage of fiction in which components of a remote (or perhaps not so remote) past are used to extrapolate a possible distant (or perhaps not so distant) future.

SUPERFLEX, "Connect With Us" - on view until 19 January 2019. Connect With Me is a sculptural work initially perceived as five abstract blue steel objects. Each have a certain viewpoint in which they appear as graphs. The graphs depict segments of the fluctuating value of Bitcoin during an 18 month period which contained the largest peak of value so far. In a paradoxical way, Connect With Me translates the intangible substance of cryptocurrencies into sculptures by giving form to the only non-metaphorical image we have of them: progress over time. When initially viewed the sculptures present as modernist, minimal art object. Seen from a bird’s-eye view the motive reveals itself as an image familiar from the world of economics. - @superflexstudio @superflexjacob @superbstar1 #SUPERFLEX #vonBartha #Installation #NewExhibition #ArtExhibition #ArtGallery #Basel #Switzerland #ArtCollective #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Crypto #Cryptocurrenciesnews #PoliticalArt #BitcoinArt

#ThrowbackThursday 2011, Color & Form Group show with Imi Knoebel, John McCracken, Peter Halley, Christian Eckart & Gunther Forg @lacma , Los Angeles – This installation featured a focused selection of works by the German abstract artist Imi Knoebel, in addition to significant pieces by four other artists: John McCracken, Christian Eckart, Gunther Forg and Peter Halley. Knoebel studied under Joseph Beuys in the late 1960s, in Düsseldorf, along with Blinky Palermo. Knoebel and Palermo were close friends; mining territory staked out earlier by Piet Mondrian and Kasimir Malevich, they found sustenance in explorations of color and form. Working in a similar vein, younger artists such as Eckart, Forg and Halley offer new explorations into material, form, color and line, while working with abstraction. Halley in particular provided an interesting coda to this selection from the Broad Collection. His brand of geometric abstraction along with his writings would become the seeds of the 1980s movement termed “neo geo.” The west side of this floor was well known for presentations of Halley’s peer, Jeff Koons. Thus, the installation sought to demonstrate the continuities between abstraction and representation, eras and artistic styles. @peterhalleystudio #ImiKnoebel #LACMA #ColorForm #ArtExhibition #MinimalArt #NeoGeo #LosAngeles #PeterHalley #JohnMcCracken #ChristianEckart #GuntherForg #AbstractArt Image: Installation photograph, Color & Form, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, July 31, 2010 – June 5, 2011.

Currently in the Showroom: Bernar Venet, Position de deux angles, 138° et 157°, 1977 - Bernar Venet (born 1941 in Château-Arnoux-Saint-Auban, France) gained world-wide fame though his works in public spaces but Venet’s opus is more diverse than his unmistakable steel sculptures may suggest. It is characterized by a perpetual and constantly evolving interaction between mathematical precision and determination on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the unforeseen and playful, or: the productive accident. Performance, music, photography and literature were early reference points for his artistic development. He has revisited these references, especially in his painting, wherein the sculptural forms, the (pictorial) discourse on the shaped canvases, mathematical formulae or text passages are recombined in a new way. - #BernarVenet #vonBartha #1970s #Painting #ShapedCanvas #ArtGallery #Basel #Switzerland #ContemporaryArtists Image: Bernar Venet, Position de deux angles, 138° et 157°, 1977, Acrylic on canvas, ø 240 cm © von Bartha

Last chance this week to visit Christian Andersson's show "Cache" at Galerie Nordenhake in Stockholm. Last day: Saturday, November 17. - In the world of computing cache is a component that stores data for future requests. One could say that the cache serves as an immediate excavation, archiving the present and communicating alternative futures. An analogous use of a short-term history can be traced in Christian Andersson’s new exhibition at Galerie Nordenhake. Here the artist presents a series of works that together make up a montage of fiction in which components of a remote (or perhaps not so remote) past are used to extrapolate a possible distant (or perhaps not so distant) future. - @christian_andersson_swe @galerie_nordenhake #ChristianAndersson #Nordenhake #ArtGallery #vonBartha #ContemporaryArtists #Stockholm #Sweden #ArtInstallation #Cache #Wallpaper #Scifi #Computing #Otherworldly Image: Wallpaper with mesh and spiral, 2018, wallpaper, 610 x 329 cm; Disc-shaped object, 2018, parabolic antenna, water, ø 180 cm

Last day to view "Estamos más unidos a lo invisible que a lo visible" by Felipe Mujica at MAMM Museum of Modern Art, Medellín. - Felipe Mujica's work consists mainly of different series of curtains usually made in collaboration with groups of artisans, weavers and / or collaborators of the place where they are produced. The origins of the curtains, as he calls them, go back to his earliest works, in which he painted minimalist paintings on the wall, first, and on plywood panels, afterwards. The motifs of the curtains come from a variety of sources: motifs from the history of art, the work of avant-garde artists, personal card designs and elements of popular culture. - @el.musgo.mujica @elmamm #FelipeMujica #vonBartha #elMAMM #Medellin #Colombia #Switzerland #LastDay #ContemporaryArt #LatinAmericanArt #ArteConcreto #Installation #Museum #ArtExhibition

Check out this fantastic work by Camille Graeser currently exhibited @hauskonstruktiv ! "MUSEUM OF DESIRES" Zurich Concretists from Swiss Collections - on view until January 13, 2019 - Of all the Zurich Concretists, Camille Graeser (born 1892 in Carouge, Switzerland, died 1980 in Wald, Switzerland) can be regarded as the most poetic and as a visual musician. Like his Zurich artist friends Max Bill, Verena Loewensberg, and Richard Paul Lohse, the principles of his art are derived from logical compositions based on geometry – the dimensions and values of colors, forms, and lines – and yet, his painterly, graphic, and sculptural work is also defined by a very personal lyrical and musical dimension. - #CamilleGraeser #hauskonstruktiv #concreteart #modernart #artstagram #contemporaryart @parnassmagazin @parkettart @artforum @kunstforum_international @keenonmag @julietartmag @weltkunstmagazin @blaumagazin #artlovers #art #artist #kunst #zurich #museum #exhibition #artwatchers @srfschweizerradioundfernsehen @monopolmagazin @artnewsmag @artmagazine.cc @art.viewer @art.kunstmagazin @hellozurich.ch @tsri.ch @ron_orp_zurich @zueritipp - Image: Camille Graeser, Zwei Relation mit blauem Quadrat, 1963, Oil on canvas, 128 x 64 cm, © Camille Graeser Stiftung, Zürich

Today is your last chance to see "The Imaginary Collection" hosted by von Bartha x Leopold Weinberg @hotelrestauranthelvetia , Zürich ! - until 4 pm - Challenging the conventional exhibition model, von Bartha replaces the classic white cube with the domestic environment. Grown from a pursuit for greater exhibition space outside of the demanding toll of art fairs and long in-house exhibitions, they introduce this third model of showing art – beyond the gallery space and the international fair booth – in which they not only exhibit important archived works, but also suggest new models for presenting and accessing artists. - @historyteller #vonBartha #HotelHelvetia #LeopoldWeinberg #TheImaginaryCollection #NewExhibition #NewShow #Switzerland #ZurichHotel #ContemporaryArt #ArtExhibition #BaselGallery #SwissGallery

Join us today until 6 pm and tomorrow from 11 am to 4 pm @hotelrestauranthelvetia , Zürich for the #ImaginaryCollection : von Bartha x Leopold Weinberg ! - The concept for ‘The Imaginary Collection’ was originally formed in 2017 following ‘Wunderkammer’, an ongoing project with von Bartha and WAC Art Initiative displaying a selection of artworks in the reception of Hotel Helvetia. Expanding upon this collaboration, the second edition of ‘The Imaginary Collection’ sees Weinberg as curator, selecting pieces from von Bartha’s existing inventory to display across the hotel: the ‘Wunderkammer’ (the reception), the outdoor/pool bar, the library and 5 rooms (which will be rented out to friends of the gallery over the period of two days). During this time, the hotel’s own collection in these spaces is temporarily removed. Usually compiled slowly over many years, this temporary collection is instead one of impulse and illusion, reflecting the curator’s feeling at one moment in time, before disappearing entirely. - @historyteller #vonBartha #HotelHelvetia #Zurich #NewExhibition #NewInstallation #ContemporaryArt #LeopoldWeinberg #BaselGallery #Switzerland #CurrentShow #ImiKnoebel #CamilleGraeser #ArtCollectors #ArtSwitzerland

Last days to see Terry Haggerty's show @vonbartha Basel ! Visit us today until 6 pm or tomorrow from 11 am to 4 pm - The artist carefully considers ambiguous forms and likenesses, to familiar indicators of space such as ledges, edges, corner and gaps. Cut-out areas and ‘zig-zag’ shapes uncover both positive and negative elements that define the varying contradictory structures in a dynamic way. Appearing impossible to the eye – in asserting a spatial presence, yet distorting illusory perceptions – these almost architectural objects provoke new ways of experiencing three-dimensionality. - @terry.haggerty #TerryHaggerty #vonBartha #Basel #ArtGallery #BaselGallery #Switzerland #OpArt #MinimalArt #NewWorks #AbstractArt #Illusion #AbstractArtist #ArtCollectors #ContemporaryArtCollectors #AbstractPaintings #ContemporaryArtists #OpticalArt #Abstractogram

Sarah Oppenheimer Lecture at Sparta, Kunstakademie Düsseldorf

Join us on Friday & Saturday, October 26 & 27 for the second edition of The Imaginary Collection, hosted by collector, architect and entrepreneur Leopold Weinberg in his boutique Hotel Helvetia, Zürich. Amongst many other artists, von Bartha will show a work by Swedish artist Olle Baertling. - "Invisible wealth is to be found in open form. It radiates a compressed concentration of highly-charged power that is transformed with suggestive radiant force into infinite space in strong dynamics and unknown dimensions. Art at its most sublime is a hymn of praise to creation, an invisible but ever-present force. A sense of the infinite, a flight to an invisible destination. A positive change of man's inner life, a realization of his world of ideas. An intellectualization, a visualization of the positive source of creative power, a visualization of its ethereal beauty." - Olle Bærtling - @historyteller @hotelrestauranthelvetia #ImaginaryCollection #vonBartha #LeopoldWeinberg #HotelHelvetia #OlleBaertling #Switzerland - Image: Olle Baertling, Tere, 1962, oil on canvas, 60 x 92 cm

#MustSee Christian Andersson's new exhibition »Cache« at gallery Nordenhake, Stockholm - through November 17, 2018 - In the world of computing cache is a component that stores data for future requests. One could say that the cache serves as an immediate excavation, archiving the present and communicating alternative futures. An analogous use of a short-term history can be traced in Christian Andersson’s new exhibition at Galerie Nordenhake. Here the artist presents a series of works that together make up a montage of fiction in which components of a remote (or perhaps not so remote) past are used to extrapolate a possible distant (or perhaps not so distant) future. - @christian_andersson_swe @galerie_nordenhake #ChristianAndersson #Nordenhake #vonBartha #Stockholm #NewExhibition #Installation #ContemporaryArtist #Sweden #ContemporaryArt #Cache #Data #Archive - 1.

The gallery has opened today until 4 pm - come visit us @vonBartha Basel and discover a body of new works by artist @terry.haggerty - Large-scale works by Terry Haggerty are not paintings, nor objects. They cannot be quite conveyed by the media, especially because of the artist’s apparent intention to engage the viewer. His method breaks the traditional formatting bounded in two-dimensionality and transforms it in three-dimensional illusion. The occupation with movement and velocity of geometrical forms leads his concepts in different directions. The viewer easily becomes drawn to their routes and in all smoothness of the surfaces, feeling challenged in regards to the perception. - #TerryHaggerty #vonBartha #Basel #artgallery #Baselgallery #Switzerland #vector #abstractart #graphics #installation #colourful #OpArt #MinimalArt #NewWorks #SeasonOpening #abstractartwork #abstractpaintings

#ThrowBackThursday - From 1987-89, Margareta and Miklos von Bartha acquired over 150 works of Argentinian artists from the Arte Concreto and Madí movements in Buenos Aires. They published a catalogue, which is still considered the standard reference work for this art movement. Today, these paintings, sculptures and works on paper are in major private collections and museums, such as eight of the works donated by Patricia Phelps de Cisneros to MoMA, New York in 2017, including those by Alfredo Hlito, Raúl Lozza, Tomás Maldonado, Juan Melé, Gregorio Vardanega and Virgillo Villalba. - Image: Installation view, von Bartha booth @artbasel 1990.

Can you describe your process of painting, #landonmetz? How do you arrive at your forms (which are often abstracted) and your choice of colors? . . I’m interested in acknowledging all constituents involved in the act of creating, exhibiting, and experiencing a work of art. Part of that is recognizing that my life has led to a specific personal aesthetic. It’s not my intent to erase this or anything else, rather to leave it present and use it as a tool in service of the overall mechanism of my practice. I work with seriality and installation to help shift the focus from any unique gesture (i.e. form or color) and more towards an experience. (Interview,sight unseen)

English Disaster, Unrealistic Mountaineers, Bored Astronauts on the Moon #woodandharrison #videowork #art . . . Since 1993, when John Wood and Paul Harrison first filmed themselves clambering over an MDF board, the Bristol-based double act have burnt down a pier, climbed Everest and been to the moon. Not actually, of course, but within their studio, where the artists translate real life experience into witty video works featuring everyday objects and increasingly elaborate sets. Wood and Harrison’s work is a near-perfect rendering of human trial and tribulation, both funny and sad.

We truly like to share #karimnoureldin recent accomplishment. Congratulations! - - - Official shots of his new „Studiolo“.

Wonderful weekend to you all; along with #superflexstudio, Non-Alcoholic-Vodka, 2006 * * Art group #superflex was founded by Danish artists Jakob Fenger, Rasmus Nielsen and Bjørnstjerne Christiansen. Renowned for their playful, subversive analysis of our economic and social structures, their oeuvre consists of large-scale installations, films and long-term, process-based projects, all of which are known as ‘tools’. Seeing their work as something to be actively put to use, the tools are designed to affect or influence their social and economic context, often inviting participation from the visitor. Superflex’s work continues to confront issues of copyright, intellectual property and trademark infringement.

About to happen: From October 10 to November 12 #felipemujica will be shown @elmamm in Medellín, Colombia. Mujica creates works comprising of installation, drawing, collapsible sculptures and printmaking, influenced by modernism and the international artistic, social and political movements in the late 60’s and 70’s. He began his art education at the Universidad Católica de Chile and later co-founded the artist-run space Galería Chilena (1997 – 2005). In the 2000s, Mujica moved to New York City where he is currently based.

Now on view at von Bartha Basel: Terry Haggerty - until October 27. - Haggerty's practice can be described as predominantly painterly. In fact, for the most part of the last 20 years, the canvas - or, as a substitute, a wooden panel - has been Haggerty's favored support and starting point for his reflections. On these flawlessly even surfaces - first in the classical rectangular format, later also in the form of the so-called "shaped panels" - Haggerty has created shimmering, captivating compositions with the most reduced means. His practice explores ambiguous forms, for instance in moments when two-dimensionality is tilting into three-dimensionality. It wants to know where, when, and how abstraction transforms into illusion; where, when and how the hard concreteness of surface, paint and form becomes something else, something that transcends the sheer materiality of these elements: a flickering space.

"At one point in my life, still in Lucerne, I had a very big studio and painted large pictures, and out of lines, out of this tangle of lines, which was there first, animals suddenly emerged, to my own surprise. But these animals, or rather animal forms, were not important to me as animals, but rather, they literally represented my physical state. And so, as animals always are: A reflection of one’s own condition." - Marianne Eigenheer - Marianne Eigenheer’s work has its roots in drawing, in which the freely moving line precedes the flat, pictorial dimension. In the 1980s, the important series Bilder zur Lage, of postcard-sized drawings, was created. They are semiabstract forms and “mergers of entirely different beings,” which attain comic-like, erotic associations, symbolic elements and also a great dynamic. At this time, she also painted large canvases, as part of the series Misere des Herzens (Misery of the Heart), with animal silhouettes, human figures and hybrid beings, who seem to float or lie before monochrome backgrounds. - Image: Marianne Eigenheer, OHNE TITEL, 1984, Acrylic on cotton, 225 x 160 cm, 88 5/8 x 63 in - #MarianneEigenheer #vonBartha #SwissArtist #Basel #Switzerland #Painting #London

#FlashBackFriday - When Arden Quin arrived in Buenos Aires he was considerably older than the group of artists he associated with, and brought with him a knowledge of Dialectical Materialism and primitive art which informs his early writings and which greatly influenced many artists of his set. Arden Quin's philosophy of art is heavily influenced by Joaquín Torres-García, in contrast to the rest of his generation. However, his interest in Dialectical Materialism led to his taking several key concepts and systems from Torres-García and developing them along Marxist lines. Arden Quin's work from the period shows less of a dogmatic commitment to the purist aesthetic, but in turn a greater freedom to experiment with the elements of art in a more playful way. - Gabriel Pérez-Barreiro - This essay was first published in the catalogue "Argentina 1920-1994", Museum of Modern Art, Oxford 1994 - Image: von Bartha Booth at Art Basel 1990, Installation view, with works by Carmelo Arden Quin, #vonBartha, Basel © von Bartha #ArtBasel #Basel #ArdenQuin #ArteMadí #Madí #1990 #ArtFair #Switzerland #BuenosAires #Argentina @artbasel

Don't miss @bobandrobertasmith 's show @royalacademyarts , London ! Anniversaries are a good time for self reflection and the Bob and Roberta Smith project explores the sometimes strained relationships between women artists and the Royal Academy in particular with a focus on Deirdre Borlase (1925-2018) (Brill’s mother). In this special project to mark the RA’s 250th anniversary, members of Borlase’s family explore her story. The display includes a selection of historic paintings by Deidre Borlase from the 1940-80s, as well as a portrait of her by her husband, Frederick Brill. #BobandRobertaSmith #RoyalAcademyofArts #London #vonBartha #UK #ContemporaryArt #DeidreBorlase

Terry Haggerty - currently on view at @vonbartha , Basel through October 27. - In a departure from his previous works, @terry.haggerty reduces – at times completely eliminates – any linear composition to reveal basic structural and sculptural forms that explore concertinas, loops and negative space. Produced with machine-like perfection, acrylic surfaces are painted on shaped wooden panels devoid of any mark-making and brushstrokes. By making these contradictions between process and application, painting and object, Haggerty forces us to question our fundamental preconceptions of medium and form. - #TerryHaggerty #vonBartha #NewExhibition #NewWorks #ContemporaryArtist #AbstractPaintings #ArtGallery #Basel #Switzerland #OpArt

If in New York, don't miss Landon Metz's solo show at Sean Kelly ! Currently on view until October 20, 2018: "Asymmetrical Symmetry" - For his inaugural exhibition with the gallery, Metz has created a new body of work in direct response to the architecture of the space. Site-responsive rather than site-specific, each canvas functions simultaneously as an independent work and a constituent component of a larger, experiential environment. Chance and repetition are consistent themes informing Metz’s various bodies of work and qualities that connect the five distinct groups of paintings in this exhibition. Rendered in four unique colors, two of which are new to the artist and will debut in this exhibition, Metz’s paintings are displayed in an atypical manner, in this instance progressing through the gallery in a serial fashion, moving both horizontally and vertically across the space. Displayed as diptychs and triptychs, alone and in larger groups, the canvases echo specific measurements taken from the architecture of the gallery. The works proceed throughout the gallery and onto the ceiling, encouraging the viewer to experience the exhibition in different ways. - @landonmetz @seankellyny #LandonMetz #SoloExhibition #SeanKellyNY #vonBartha #NewYork #ContemporaryArt #AbstractArt #AbstractPainting #Installation

Boris Rebetez, "Sentence" at von Bartha, S-chanf - Last day! - Consisting of finely wrought and colourfully painted steel, Rebetez’s sculptures render visible the different directions and movements within a specific space. Reminiscent of forms without function – be it structures, vessels or containers – Rebetez invites the viewer to consider the objects as traces or recollections of a utilization process. The formalistic modernist design vocabulary leaves room for further interpretation and prospective project ideas, in this way the works can also be considered architectural models or plans. Whilst consciously playing with the notion of utopia, Rebetez resumes the longstanding theme of his art: spatial and temporal phases of transition. - #BorisRebetez #vonBartha #Schanf #Exhibition #LastDays #ContemporaryArt #Switzerland #Installation #Modernist #Sculptures

SUPERFLEX as Expedition leaders of TBA21- Academy’s The Current II Commissioned by TBA21- Academy, Deep Sea Minding merges artistic and scientific research in an attempt to reach an alternative understanding of the marine species, which could ultimately affect the way we imagine and design our environments and objects. While generating relevant data and increasing awareness of rising sea levels, Deep Sea Minding proposes the creation of structures that could serve the needs and desires of both humans and marine creatures. In August, SUPERFLEX initiates the first of three expeditions to the South Pacific to test marine life responses to the nature of these designed structures. From 2018 to 2020 SUPERFLEX will be Expedition Leaders of TBA21–Academy’s three-year fellowship programme The Current. The first expedition aboard the M/Y Dardanella research vessel, brings a series of exploratory experiments to the uninhabited island of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai, in the South Pacific. The island of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai emerged recently in the South Pacific, challenging the prevailing tendency of a world which is slowly sinking. The perfect location to explore the thin and ever-changing frontier between land and sea. A frontier which will be soon diluted by a vertical migration: bringing fish to occupy our homes and humans to mind the deep sea. - @superflexstudio #Superflex #TheCurrentII #Expedition #Pacific #Environment #vonBartha #Artistcollective #Underthesea

Save the date: Opening on September 7, von Bartha will present an exhibition by British-born, Berlin-based artist Terry Haggerty. Featuring three series of new large-scale works, it runs from 8 September – 27 October 2018 at von Bartha’s Basel space. - Expanding the boundaries of abstraction, Haggerty creates his own distinct visual language through the exploration of form and perception. He translates natural forms, man-made objects, and ambiguous shapes into engaging compositions that oscillate between flat and dimensional space. Using simple colour combinations, he stretches the picture plane beyond view, exploring both visible and invisible space. Through the confines of an outlined shape, multiple angles of seemingly contradictory form are viewed from a single viewpoint. Produced with machine-like perfection, acrylic surfaces are painted on shaped wooden panels devoid of any mark-making and brushstrokes. By making these contradictions between process and application, painting and object, Haggerty forces us to question our fundamental preconceptions of medium and form. - #TerryHaggerty #vonBartha #ComingSoon #UpcomingExhibition #OpArt #MinimalArt #NewWorks #SeasonOpening #Basel #Switzerland #ContemporaryArt @terry.haggerty @contemporaryartswitzerland

Don't miss @superflexstudio at @copenhagen_contemporary - through 30.12.2018 – An orange line of swings weaves through SUPERFLEX’ large-scale installation One Two Three Swing! Where swings are normally made for individual use, SUPERFLEX’ swings are designed for three people to swing together and experience the potential of collaborative participation. With the large-scale installation One Two Three Swing! SUPERFLEX address what they experience as an apparent social apathy, an inability to act in the face of the political, environmental, and economic challenges in our times. In the large metal structure of orange swings winding through Hall 1, we as an audience can experience movement and the power of collective human actions. One Two Three Swing! is both an aesthetic and a conceptual installation engaging with the power of play and the collaborative entities people can create together. The shared experience is embedded within us and may engender new collaborative activities and movements as we go through life. SUPERFLEX see the collective force as a positive energy, potentially capable of changing the course of our lives and thus our future. The work may also trigger reflections on fundamental questions such as democracy, influence, and common citizenship – in that sense, SUPERFLEX’ swings are more than just play. - Images: One Two Three Swing!, 2018, by Superflex, installation view at Copenhagen Contemporary.

Another work by Imi Knoebel from the von Bartha collection - Imi Knoebel is known for his theoretical approach to colour, form and surface. His powerful use of colour combinations work to reveal the physical potentialities behind often rudimentary materials; by reducing art to its most formal elements, Knoebel highlights the possibilities inherent within these materials and structures. Through a career spanning over 50 years, he has revisited these themes and materials in various ways. Knoebel studied at the Werkkunstschule in Darmstadt (1962-64) before moving to the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, fascinated by the teaching style and personality of Joseph Beuys. Knoebel, however, distanced himself from the other Beuys students and developed his own, minimalist style, influenced by Kazimir Malevich; Malevich’s Black Square (1915) gave him ‘The overwhelming feeling that I could start at nothing.’ His puristic line drawings, light projections and white paintings of the early 70s saw the inclusion of colour for the first time in 1974. - Imi Knoebel, Lina-Liza-Strasse 4, 2000, Acrylic on Aluminium, 276 x 200 x 4,5cm - #ImiKnoebel #vonBartha #AbstractPainting #AbstractArt #Collection #Gallery #Contemporaryart #Basel #MinimalArt #Switzerland

Currently in our office, a selection of Anna Dickinson's vessels - "As is often the case with sublime elegance, the work looks effortless despite the detailed thought and long hours of labour involved in arriving at this degree of perfection. Forms, colours, textures and the marriage of materials have all been lovingly honed to perfection by head, heart and hand. Anna Dickinson cannot work in a hurry. She deliberates long and hard during each of the many stages involved. The process begins when she takes her notebook full of drawings to Neil Wilkin’s studio. She has worked with this master glass blower for many years and the two have established a rare degree of understanding. Some of the pieces are free blown, others blown into a mould." - Dan Klein, 2003 - @anna_dickinson_glass @craftsmagazine 1.

Today! Art Parcours Zuoz Art e Poesias in La Plaiv – Today the Plaiv Region is transformed into an art trail, bringing together local galleries to exhibit alongside permanent and temporary installations and a series of poetry recitals. For this event, von Bartha is showcasing Gate/Grid, by Andrew Bick. This work, a grid of powder-coated aluminium, marks the artist’s first venture into sculpture. When asked how the work translates to a public, outdoor space, Bick discusses the element of chance within his paintings, the inevitable variation of paint, wax and marker scribbles and how this is reflected in the variation of the outside world. There exists a contrast between the structural rigidity of Gate/Grid, the shifting forms Bick’s work and the variable aspects of Gate/Grid’s surroundings that reflects the contradictions in his paintings, which are at once celebratory and critical of constructivist values. But the interaction between this sculpture and the outdoor space is too complex to be defined as merely juxtaposition, for the sculpture itself also has the potential to change and move; to open and fold. These “shifting shapes” that characterise Bick’s work relate to his constant questioning of how we look.

Gate/Grid by Andrew Bick at Art Parcours Zuoz

Opening now! "Sentence" by Boris Rebetez, from 4 - 7 pm in S-chanf - With a background in language and writing, the series is underpinned by a modernist grammar based on geometrical elements such as the triangle, square angle and circle. Akin to contemporary architecture, these means of expression shape the artist’s visual vocabulary, bringing the sculptures to life as complete syntactical forms. About the artist Boris Rebetez (b. 1970 in Lajoux, Switzerland) is a multimedia artist who works with drawings, collages, sculptures, installations and photographs. He currently lives and works in Basel where he studied at the Schule für Gestaltung from 1990 – 1994. In 2006, Rebetez won the Basler Manor prize. In 2011, he was awarded the Irène Reymond Foundation award. In 2008, he was artist-in-residence at the Istituto Svizzero di Roma. His works are internationally represented in renowned private and public collections. - #BorisRebetez #vonBartha #Sentence #Opening Exhibition #NewExhibition #Gallery #Contemporaryart #Schanf #Sculptures #Switzerland

Opening tomorrow: Boris Rebetez, "Sentence", join us! Saturday, 28th July, 2018 from 4 - 7 pm in S-chanf - Von Bartha dedicates this year’s summer show in S-chanf, Engadin, to Swiss artist Boris Rebetez. Under the title Sentence, Rebetez has united a series of sculptural works, on display from 29 July to 7 September 2018. Consisting of finely wrought and colourfully painted steel, Rebetez’s sculptures render visible the different directions and movements within a specific space. Reminiscent of forms without function – be it structures, vessels or containers – Rebetez invites the viewer to consider the objects as traces or recollections of a utilization process. - #BorisRebetez #vonBartha #Sentence #UpcomingExhibition #OpeningSoon #Gallery #Contemporaryart #Schanf #Sculptures #Switzerland

Currently in our office, Variant t-s / OGVDS (tree compendium) # 1 by @andrewmbick For ten years, Andrew Bick has been working with two singular grid structures as a basis for all his drawings and paintings, derived from an initial copy of a painting in 2008. This digitised grid format, consisting mainly of triangular outlines, he then projects onto his canvas. Bick transfers the lines onto the work’s surface, keeping some elements and editing out others. His practice is thus one of constant evolution, with each new work existing as a variation of previous versions. Finally, by incorporating painterly elements into the multi-layered works, the resulting pieces generate interplay between gesture and geometry, rational and irrational processes. This method of reinvention – integral to Bick’s practice – references key influences within the abstract and concrete movements, in particular Paul Klee’s concretised version of nature and Robert Lax’s contemplation of the world through an ordered sequence of words. - Andrew Bick, Variant t-s / OGVDS (tree compendium) # 1, 2012-2018, Acrylic, pencil, oil paint, watercolour and wax on linen on wood, 135 x 100 x 4 cm - #AndrewBick #vonBartha #Painting #ContemporaryArtist #Constructivism #switzerland #multilayeredpainting #geometric #waxpaintings

Three days left until the opening of "Sentence" by Boris Rebetez! Join us on Saturday, 28th July, 2018 from 4 - 7 pm in S-chanf to discover a whole new body of works. - The formalistic modernist design vocabulary of his work leaves room for further interpretation and prospective project ideas, in this way the works can also be considered architectural models or plans. Whilst consciously playing with the notion of utopia, Rebetez resumes the longstanding theme of his art: spatial and temporal phases of transition. - Boris Rebetez, Courbe, 2017, Painted steel, plexiglass, 24 x 32 x 53 cm - #BorisRebetez #vonBartha #Sentence #UpcomingExhibition #OpeningSoon #Gallery #Contemporaryart #ContemporaryArtist #Schanf #Sculptures #Switzerland

If in Celje, don't miss this show! "All Our Secrets" group show with prints by Felipe Mujica, organized by Katrin Mundt at the Center For Contemporary Arts Celje. On view "There is Light In Every Window V", 2018, silkscreen prints on paper, unique copies, dimensions variable. Courtesy of von Bartha – Secrets do not simply exist as fixed entities, but rather in and through communication. They are never just the classified document or the personal experience you don't want anyone to know about. They consist in the communicative acts of selectively sharing information with others, of limiting or granting access to it. And they are communicated as stories. Sharing a secret means telling a story – and secrets you don't share are stories that you tell yourself instead. - Felipe Mujica, There is Light In Every Window V, Installation view, 2018, Center For Contemporary Arts, Celje - @el.musgo.mujica #FelipeMujica #vonBartha #AllOurSecrets #Silkscreenprints #Gallery #Celje #Contemporaryart #Slovenia #CenterforContemporaryArts #Switzerland

#Throwbackthursday - The most recent house of von Bartha was opened in 2008. Most of the gallery’s activities take place here. The gallery was built into a former car repair shop. Over 700 sqm of exhibition space accommodate up to five contemporary exhibitions a year. In addition, the gallery hosts eight to ten events for selected projects a year. From 2008, von Bartha has been under the second generation-direction of Stefan von Bartha. The formerly two-man business – located on Schützenmattstrasse in Basel – has developed into a company of three family members and six employees. The gallery’s relocation and expansion to a converted garage at Kannenfeldplatz has allowed for large-scale installations, performances and retrospectives. - New Generation Installation view, 2007 von Bartha, Basel - #tbt #vonBartha #NewGeneration #garage #gallery #Basel #Contemporaryart #installation #paintings #Abstractart #Switzerland

If in Copenhagen, don't miss this fantastic show by Superflex at Copenhagen Contemporary! - With the large-scale installation One Two Three Swing! SUPERFLEX address what they experience as an apparent social apathy, an inability to act in the face of the political, environmental, and economic challenges in our times. In the large metal structure of orange swings winding through Hall 1, we as an audience can experience movement and the power of collective human actions. In Hall 2, the state of apathy is represented by a large pendulum swinging widely across a carpet woven in the colours of Euro notes. We are invited to lie down and contemplate the fabric of economy and other forces governing our everyday lives while literally reflecting on, while being reflected in, the mirror-like pendulum. - @superflexstudio @copenhagen_contemporary - SUPERFLEX, "One Two Three Swing!".

Last chance to view Landon Metz's exhibition, titled ‘Feels So Right Now’ , at von Bartha, Basel through 21 July 2018. – At first glance, the end gallery appears vacant. However, moving through the space, the viewer encounters two series’ of Metz’s dye paintings spanning the sloped ceiling. Using dye on unprimed canvas, the pigment merges with the fibres of the plane, producing morphic forms according to the perimeters set by the artist. Shifting the viewer’s gaze upwards, these site-conscious works interact with the physicality of the gallery space; visitor and architecture become equally important components within the exhibition. - Feels So Right Now Installation view, 2018 von Bartha, Basel - @Landonmetz @contemporaryartswitzerland @artbasel #LandonMetz #vonBartha #CurrentExhibition #AbstractPainting #Gallery #Basel #Contemporaryart #Installation #Abstractart #Switzerland

Friday September 7, 2018 we open the Season Opening in Basel with brand new works by Terry Haggerty. Don’t miss it! - With the simple gesture of curving lines, @terry.haggerty is able to create complex illusions, garnering both volume and depth. The artist carefully considers ambiguous forms and likenesses, to familiar indicators of space such as ledges, edges, corner and gaps. Nevertheless, the viewer is not only drawn to Haggerty's paintings as a result of the suggestion of plasticity, but also owing to their cool, smooth, machine-like surface perfection. - * Historical work from the collection.

Currently in our showroom, Imi Knoebel, Lina-Liza-Strasse 1 - Knoebel studied from 1962 – 64 at the Werkkunstschule (School for Applied Arts) in Darmstadt and moved in 1964, fascinated by the teaching style and personality of Joseph Beuys, to the Kunstakademie (Art Academy) in Düsseldorf. Knoebel, however, distanced himself from the other Beuys students and developed his own, minimalist style, influenced by its great forerunner Kazimir Malevich. Following puristic line drawings, light projections and white paintings (1972 – 75) Knoebel turned to colour for the first time in 1974. During the 1980s the artist experimented with found objects, incorporating them within his installation pieces. Continuing his investigation into the medium of painting, Knoebel has also expanded his practice to an architectural scale; his largest commission to date saw the artist design several stained glass windows for the Notre-Dame de Reims cathedral, installed in 2011 and 2015. - Lina-Liza-Strasse 1, 2001 Acrylic / aluminium 269 x 159 x 4 cm - #ImiKnoebel #vonBartha #showroom #Basel #Contemporaryartist #Painting #Aluminium #Abstractart #Switzerland

LANDON METZ "Feels So Right Now", on view through July 21, 2018 - The exhibition includes the artist’s first sound work. Transforming the gallery into a performative environment, the work creates a solemn and meditative atmosphere. Relating to the core elements of Metz’s practice, it is based on repetitions and infinity, whilst further acknowledging the viewer’s presence as an integral part of the work. - @landonmetz #LandonMetz #vonBartha #currentexhibition #Basel #Contemporaryartist #installation #sound #Abstractart #Switzerland #NewExhibition

Currently in our showroom, Sarah Oppenheimer, C-02.02 - Oppenheimer’s work explores the temporal and spatial attributes of the built environment, inviting us to re-evaluate the spaces we inhabit. Using light and mirrors, her work disorients the viewer, pulling their eye in new directions and shifting their sense of gravity. - C-02.02, 2011 Anodized aluminium and coated float glass 148 x 43.6 x 57.4 cm - #SarahOppenheimer #vonBartha #Glass #Aluminium #Sculptures#Basel #Contemporaryartist #Architectural #Abstractart #Switzerland

LANDON METZ "Feels So Right Now", on view through July 21, 2018 - The exhibition at von Bartha expands on the artist’s exploration of the relationship between image and object. In the gallery’s entrance, Metz’s shapes translate into a floor sculpture consisting of three parts. Redirecting the visitors’ way through the gallery space, the pieces invite the viewer to interact with their freestanding forms, navigating around and between them. - Untitled, 2018 Pigmented acrylic resin and mineral aggregate - @landonmetz #LandonMetz #vonBartha #currentexhibition #Basel #Contemporaryartist #installation #sculpture #Abstractart #Switzerland #NewExhibition

SUPERFLEX "One Two Three Swing!" at Copenhagen Contemporary

Save the date: Next exhibition coming up on July 28th in S-chanf! BORIS REBETEZ - "Sentence" - The artist's interest lies in the various concepts of space, which becomes obvious when analyzing his eclectic work containing drawings, collages, sculptures, installations and photography. Space therefore is not only addressed in terms of spatial surrounding, but also as a theoretical and historical entity. Further, he understands space as to be experienced subjectively and to be created mentally. - #savethedate #jointheparty #Sneakpeak #BorisRebetez #vonBartha #schanf #Switzerland #ContemporaryArt

Auguste Herbin Untitled, 1920 Ink on paper 36.5 x 27 cm, framed 47.5 x 37 cm - Packing Auguste Herbin's work for @artbasel 2018 ! - Auguste Herbin was a French painter who was a contemporary of and studiomate to the famed founders of Cubism: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Juan Gris. Differentiating himself from his peers, Herbin’s work was most often aligned with geometric abstraction. - #ArtBasel #ArtBasel2018 #vonBartha #AugusteHerbin #geometricabstraction #frenchartist #artfair #abstractart

Calderara is best known for his abstract paintings, which combine geometric abstraction with an atmospheric finish, achieving a misty quality through subtle, almost invisible variations in color. - #vonBartha #ArtBasel #ArtBasel2018 #antoniocalderara #abstractart #minimalistart #geometricabstraction #italianart #abstractpainting

#exhibition #florianslotawa @ Kunstverein Ettlingen 26.05.2018 - 01.07.2018 Bekannt geworden ist der Berliner Konzeptkünstler Florian Slotawa (* 1972 Rosenheim) für seine „Besitzarbeiten“, für die er schon mal sämtliche Gegenstände aus seinem persönlichen Besitz als bildhauerisches Material verwendet hat. Temporär wurden sie Teil einer Skulptur und kehrten nach Ausstellungsende zurück in seine Wohnung. Mittlerweile beschäftigt sich der Künstler vor allem abstrakt mit Gebrauchsobjekten oder Gegenständen, die speziell ihrer Farbigkeit oder der mit ihnen verknüpften Assoziationen wegen erworben werden. Fremde und vorgefundene Objekte wählt Slotawa nach formalen Kriterien wie Farbe, Form und Material aus, stellt sie neu zusammen und lotet so ihre vielfältigen Kombinationsmöglichkeiten aus. Raumfragen stehen dabei ebenso im Fokus wie der soziale und institutionelle Kontext, in dem seine Arbeiten gezeigt werden. Im Kunstverein Wilhelmshöhe werden aktuelle Arbeiten zu sehen sein, die zwischen sorgfältig arrangierten Objektstapeln und streng komponierter Skulptur angesiedelt sind. #ConceptualArt #Berlin #artexhibition

If in Stockholm visit this show! CIRCLES WITHOUT DIAMETER AND FANTASIES WITHOUT HISTORY @annaellegallery RUNS THROUGH 10 JUNE 2018 With works by: - FELIPE MUJICA CRISTÓBAL LEHYT JOHANNA UNZUETA CRISTIÁN SILVA JOE VILLABLANCA JUAN CÉSPEDES MILENA GRÖPPER - Felipe Mujica (Santiago, Chile, 1974) organized this exhibition with the help and input of the whole group of artists. He studied art at the Universidad Católica de Chile between 1992-1997. Just out of art school he co-founds with Diego Fernández and José Luis Villablanca the artist-run space Galería Chilena (GCH), which operated between 1999 and 2005, first as a nomadic and commercial art gallery and later as a collaborative art project, a curatorial "experiment". In early 2000 Mujica moved to New York City where he currently lives and works. Parallel and interrelated to his work Mujica has organized and produced many collaborative projects and exhibitions. Since 2008 he has frequently collaborated with Johanna Unzueta in the editing, design, and publishing of artist-books. - @el.musgo.mujica #annaellegallery #felipemujica #currentexhibition #stockholm_insta #stockholm #galleryopening #contemporaryartist #installationview #exhibitions

10 days left to see our current exhibition "gate/grid/tree (notes/on/concrete)" by british artist Andrew Bick @vonbartha , Basel. On view until May 26. - A shift in pace and mood is noticeable in a set of "slow-time paintings" hung as a group at the back of the gallery. These works have been re-painted over the past five to ten years, covering or scraping off versions that Bick feels could take further interrogation. They reference, among others, Lax's poem "the light --- the shade" which presents an interface between the absolutes of concrete principles and the eventualities of being alive. The works relate to the optical hesitations and unpredictability of everyday looking; for Bick they are both a visual poem and a delineation of the space between - "a logical concrete system and shit that just happens". - @andrewmbick @frieze_magazine @friezeartfair @friezenewyork @frieze.london #currentexhibition #AndrewBick #gate/grid/tree #notes/on/concrete #concreteart #swissgallery #switzerland #contemporaryartist #paintings #wallpaper #frieze

Terry Haggerty's solo exhibition "Still Motion" @ivorypress , Madrid, continues until 5 May! - The focus of perception gradually shifts towards the visual qualities of the painted object. The viewer is drawn to their flatness and technically-consummate surface finish that gives the appearance of quasi-mechanical perfection. There's no build-up if paint on paint to be seen; we are left with a non-reflective surface that leaves no history of its making, preserved in an encased varnished shell. - @terry.haggerty #terryhaggerty #ivorypress #stillmotion #exhibition #artexhibition #painting #madrid #currentexhibition #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #lines

D-2 ! von Bartha, Basel is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new works from British artist Andrew Bick, running from 14 April - 26 May 2018, and titled gate/grid/tree/ (notes/on/concrete). Opening: Friday, May 13, from 6-8 pm One of the leading contemporary painters working in response to the tradition of constructivist art, Bick's technically complex and layered pieces merge drawing and painting, line and plane, transparency and opacity, to form a complex whole. @andrewmbick #AndrewBick #soloshow #openingsoon #artexhibition #paintings #installation #wallpaper #constructivism #contemporaryartist #Basel #switzerland

Installing the upcoming exhibition with Andrew Bick: gate / grid / tree (notes/on/concrete), opening Friday April 13, 6-8 pm @vonbartha Basel. Please join us! For ten years, Bick has been working with two singular grid structures as a basis for all his drawings and paintings, derived from an initial copy of a painting in 2008. His practice is thus one of constant evolution, with each new work existing as a variation of previous versions. The resulting pieces generate interplay between gesture and geometry, rational and irrational processes. @andrewmbick #upcomingexhibition #AndrewBick #opening #exhibition #paintings #installation #install #artexhibition #contemporaryartist #Basel #switzerland
