Tschudi Gallery

The Tschudi Gallery is a Swiss art gallery , founded in Glarus in 1985 and headquartered in Zuoz since 2002 , which promotes international and Swiss contemporary art and exhibits works by established artists and newcomers.

history

The Tschudi Gallery was founded in 1985 by Ruedi Tschudi (1940–2019) and Elsbeth Bisig in Glarus. It offers solo and group exhibitions, works with international institutions, takes part in international art fairs (e.g. Art Basel ) and publishes art catalogs and artist monographs. In December 2002 a second gallery was opened in Zuoz. In recent years, Zuoz has become the main gallery where all the exhibitions take place. The gallery is located in a converted medieval building called Chesa Madalena on the historic main square of Zuoz. Since then, Glarus has served as a warehouse and, on request, as an exhibition room. Away from the urban centers of art, the gallery has for years followed a program with representatives of Minimal Art , Land Art and Arte Povera , with artists such as Carl Andre , Alan Charlton , Richard Long , Mario Merz and Hamish Fulton . Newer artists included in the program are Bethan Huws , Niele Toroni , Callum Innes , Dan Walsh , Su-Mei-Tse , Kimsooja , Julian Charrière and Andrea Büttner .

In 2004 the gallery celebrated its twentieth anniversary with an exhibition by Carl Andre .

Quote

“In terms of the distance to the art centers of London and New York , the Tschudi Gallery has achieved a remarkable international reputation. ... The principle seems clear: Glarus is the perfect retreat and production location for artists. Zuoz, a few kilometers from St. Moritz, an atmospheric showroom for wealthy collectors from all over the world. "
