Galerie Gmurzynska: Classic Modern and Contemporary Masters since 1965 Moritz.

Galerie Gmurzynska is one of the top galleries in the world with locations in Zurich, Zug and St. In 2005, while celebrating its fortieth anniversary, Galerie Gmurzynska opened its spacious new headquarters in Switzerland, relocating entirely from Germany. At the same time that it was launching its new flagship location at the famed Paradeplatz in the heart of Zurich, the gallery was also enlarging and updating its two already existing locations in Zug and fabled St.

Jiří Kolář developed an extensive taxonomy of collage techniques, coining many of the terms himself. A rollage begins with at least two—and sometimes as many as sixteen—identical reproductions. After cutting them into equal strips, the artist reorders the fragments on a mounting surface. This rearrangement produces a new and visually dynamic image.

By stripping the source material into vertical and horizontal slats, Kolar figured the collage element into an illusionistic device that occupied virtual space, suggesting dimensionality. With a keen sense of art history and a honed aesthetic sensibility, Kolář produced images at once beautiful and conceptually challenging.

Kolář’s international recognition accelerated after he began exhibiting outside Czechoslovakia. He was given an entire room at Documenta in 1968, followed by major exhibitions at the Kestner-Gesellschaft in 1969, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in 1971, the Guggenheim Museum in 1975 and 1978, and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in 1978. His work was subsequently presented by institutions including the ICA in London, the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Centre Pompidou and National Gallery Prague.

Now on view | Jiří Kolář: Revolutionizing Collage.

Jiří Kolář (1914–2002), the Czech poet and artist whose radical approach transformed the possibilities of collage, is being recognized for his lasting contribution to twentieth-century art and his influence on generations of artists.

Kolář’s practice was deeply informed by sustained encounters with art history, ranging from Bosch, Bruegel and Duchamp to Picasso and Twombly. Rather than simply reproducing familiar cultural imagery, he dismantled and reconstructed it, revealing new relationships among texts, pictures and objects. Milena Kalinovska wrote that Kolář “built a whole new understanding of reality” by bringing these elements together to disclose multiple realities. His importance to twentieth-century collage lies not only in his technical virtuosity but also in the way he expanded the medium’s fundamental grammar. Decades before appropriation and the recycling of cultural imagery became commonplace in contemporary art, Kolář approached inherited images as material to be read, disassembled and made to speak anew.

His work has been exhibited internationally and is held in major public and private collections, including the extensive Mládek collection at Museum Kampa.

To celebrate Natalia Goncharova’s birthday, we look back at the presentation at TEFAF New York Spring 2019, where the gallery exhibited a single masterpiece of enormous scale and seminal historic importance by the artist.

Natalia Goncharova was a Russian avant-garde artist, painter, costume designer, writer, illustrator, and set designer. This backdrop is the only surviving large scale painting from this Diaghilev production. With Goncharova’s radicalism starting in the 1910’s, at a time when female painters in Europe and the US would not have dared to use body-painting or to promote Cubism, Futurism, and Rayism as she did, not to mention her provocative personal behavior, Goncharova is as relevant today as ever.

Now on view at Guggenheim New York in New York, “Modern European Currents” is featuring works from the Guggenheim’s collection by Natalia Goncharova, and more, to explore a transformative turning point—when artists redefined the role of art in society and paved the way for the rise of abstraction.

‘Manigua’ (Jungle) from 1959 is a pastel drawing that closely relates to Wifredo Lam’s ‘La Brousse’ paintings from 1958 and 1959. During this period Lam painted seven canvases that were inspired by the Cuban landscape, as their collective title ‘La Brousse’ (The Bush).

The present canvas is part of a well–known series of thirty-one paintings and drawings that Picasso made in April and May of 1954, depicting a twenty-year old blonde model named Sylvette David. At this point he plunged into one of his most extraordinary campaigns of possession, not through working and reworking an oil painting but with a dazzling series of forty paintings and drawings done inside a month.

To celebrate Kurt Schwitters birthday, we look back at one of our favorite collages by the pioneering artist.

Kurt Schwitters was a German artist, painter, poet, installation artist and graphic designer, who was highly influential in the Dadaist movement and also in Constructivism and Surrealism. Most famous for his collages called Merz, many people credit him for inventing the modern collage, and also performance art, installation art, and sound art. He was one of the most radical and important artistic pioneers of the 20th century.

Now on view at Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern Switzerland, “Schwitters: On the Fringes of the Avant-Garde” is showing the first comprehensive exhibition on Kurt Schwitters in Switzerland in over twenty years. Galerie Gmurzynska is proud to have loaned over 20 works to the exhibition, reflecting its over 50 decade interest in promoting Kurt Schwitters.

The Femme-Cheval is a recurrent figure in the oeuvre of Wifredo Lam and this painting is the first ever of the 12 paintings. Lam developed the horse-headed female in 1941, the year of his return to his native country Cuba, after eighteen years in Europe and two forced exiles.

The impetus for Lam’s use of the human-horse face and the woman-horse figure comes from the influence of Picasso (in particular his 1935 graphic “Minotauromachie” suite), Surrealism and Afro-Cubanism. Through the horse-headed woman, Lam managed to transpose the power focus of Surrealism (and Picasso) from the male principle to the female.

The motif’s significance extends well beyond Lam’s own practice, finding renewed expression in contemporary fashion and design. Diotima founder and designer Rachel Scott collaborated with the Wifredo Lam estate and selected four paintings from Lam’s oeuvre, one of which is Lam’s Femme-Cheval (Horse-Woman).
