The Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft has always been primarily interested in acquiring works by living artists, and works by Swiss exponents such as Giacometti and Varlin, Tinguely and Fischli/Weiss have increasingly been complemented by the work of international artists. One result of this has been a concentrated group of work centred on the new American painting of the fifties and sixties, with the main emphasis being placed on Cy Twombly . Alongside one the last great sculptures by Beuys, Olivestone, hang major works of the next generation of German painters: Polke, Kiefer, Penck and above all Baselitz.
On the ground floor of the Kunsthaus Zurich you will find a new selection of contemporary sculptures.
