From the Friends of Fotostiftung Schweiz collection, part II

15 Dec 2022 – 12 Mar 2023
Ever since its beginnings in the 19th century, photography has served as a means of juxtaposing and comparing similar phenomena and objects. Already in 1843, English botanist Anna Atkins began to compile and publish her photograms of seaweed, ferns and other plants as typological reference works. Serial procedure, which was initially useful in scientific and technical contexts or, for example, when making records of people, was taken up again by conceptual artists from the 1970s onwards: Bernd a… more

Mon Temps

29 Oct 2022 – 12 Feb 2023


Peter Knapp’s ideas on layout and typography, along with his dynamic photographs, made the magazine Elle a leading medium in the fashion industry from the 1960s onwards. Fotostiftung Schweiz presents a selection from around 700 donated photographs by Peter Knapp. While paying tribute to this outstanding Swiss designer’s oeuvre, the exhibition brings to life the mood of an epoch and the societal transformation that took place within it.

Georg Aerni

Silent Transition

Silent Transition

11 Jun – 16 Oct 2022
Georg Aerni has, in parallel to his work as an architectural photographer, produced a comprehensive artistic oeuvre. Although this has been exhibited sporadically, it is yet to receive any major recognition in a museum context. The exhibition at Fotostiftung Schweiz now focuses on the works he has produced since 2011 and shows Aerni’s oeuvre as a significant position within contemporary Swiss photography.

In a consistent continuation of his earlier work, Georg Aerni sheds light on the int… more

She Was Once / Einst war sie

La dame au crâne rasé

19 Feb – 29 May 2022


In the mid-1970s, a young Swiss artist gave herself the programmatic name Manon. She shook up the Zurich art scene with her appearances as a femme fatale, provocative performances and installations, in which she exhibited men in a shop window or presented her own bedroom, overflowing with lascivious décor, as a Salmon-Coloured Boudoir (Das lachsfarbene Boudoir) in a gallery.

Manon is a scriptwriter, set designer, director and actress – but also a photographer. This exhibition, wh… more

After Nature / Nach der Natur

Swiss Photography in the 19th Century

23 Oct 2021 – 30 Jan 2022


After photography was proclaimed as a French invention in 1839 in Paris, the new medium
quickly embarked on its victory march throughout Europe. Although the race for technical
innovation and the development of this new craft began in the continent’s cultural centres, the heavy cameras soon made their way to the villages and the countryside, to remote valleys and mountains, where photographers gained recognition for their images “after nature”. How was photography able to spr… more

Good Morning, World!

Good Morning, World!

5 Jun – 10 Oct 2021



Ernst A. Heiniger (1909–1993) belonged to the avant-garde of the Swiss "New Photography" movement in the 1930s. A photo retoucher by trade, he taught himself the art of photography autodidactically. He quickly developed a keen sense for contemporary and modern aesthetics and soon became one of the first photographers to be admitted to the Swiss Werkbund (SWB). After this initial spark to his career, Heiniger constantly took on new challenges and continued to do pioneering work… more

Pia Zanetti, born in Basel in 1943, made a name for herself with her insightful photo stories. Her great perseverance led her to excel in a field that had previously been dominated by men. Starting in the 1960s, she travelled extensively on behalf of publications such as Die Woche, Espresso, Stern, Paris Match, Elle, Telegraph, Das Magazin, Du, or NZZ, first in Europe and later all around the world. It was always the common people on the street, at work, at football stadiums, playing outside o… more

12 Sep 2020 – 10 Jan 2021



Robert Frank, who was born in Zurich in 1924 and died last year in Canada, is widely regarded
as one of the most important photographers of our time. Over the course of decades, he has
expanded the boundaries of photography and explored its narrative potential like no other.
Robert Frank travelled thousands of miles between the American East and West Coasts in the
mid-1950s, going through nearly 700 films in the process. A selection of 83 black-and-white
images from this blend of diary, sombr… more

The Fotostiftung Schweiz is presenting a comprehensive exhibition of the works of Evelyn Hofer (1922–2009), whom the New York Times hailed as "America’s most famous 'unknown' photographer". Her commissions for magazines as well as her independent projects are multifaceted and colourful. They give us a glimpse into the private rooms of world-famous artists such as Andy Warhol and Marlene Dietrich. They present fascinating

As If the World Were There to Be Measured

Als ob die Welt zu vermessen wäre

19 Oct 2019 – 16 Feb 2020
Known for his photographs of landscapes of stone and ice – extremely dense black and white compositions on the verge of abstraction – Guido Baselgia ventures in a surprising new direction with his latest cycle of works. The specialist for austerity and emptiness has made the transition to abundance: his photographs of the tropical rainforest in the Amazon Basin explore the representability of a habitat that is so pervasive in the collec-tive visual consciousness, a landscape at the c… more

The first manned Moon landing on 20 July 1969 (CET) was the greatest technological adventure of all time. Fifty years after man first set foot on the surface of the Moon, the Fotostiftung Schweiz (Swiss Foundation for Photography) takes a look back at photographic representation of this celestial body, which has captured the human ima-gination since time immemorial. Rather than being a scientific or documentary study of the Moon, the exhibition focuses on the translation of an elusive experience… more

How to Secure a Country

How to Secure a Country

23 Feb – 26 May 2019


Switzerland is well-known as one of the safest countries on earth and as a prime example
of efficiency and efficacy. But how do state and private actors ensure this valuable commodity,
which is as much a basic need as it is a billion-dollar business? And how much
freedom are we as citizens willing to give up for our security? Between 2014 and 2018,
Salvatore Vitale (born 1986 in Palermo, lives in Lugano and Zurich) set out on a visual
research project, to discover the central underlying tenets… more

Walter Bosshard (1892–1975) was the first Swiss photojournalist to become internationally famous as a result of his reportage. As early as 1930, his photo reports had already reached an audience of millions. From 1931, Bosshard concentrated on China.As a photographer and writer, he followed the devastating war with Japan and the power struggle between nationalists and communists, but also dedicated himself to everyday life and street scenes. As well as the classics, this exhibition by the … more

For five years, the Zurich-based artist duo Jojakim Cortis & Adrian Sonderegger worked on a project that not only captivates with its concept, but also through its intricacy and aesthetic power. «Double Take» plays seductively with iconic images from international photographic history: Pictures imprinted in the collective memory are reproduced as
three-dimensional models – a meticulous bricolage of cardboard, sand, wood, fabric, cotton wool and plaster – and photograp… more

Together, Fotomuseum Winterthur and Fotostiftung Schweiz have launched a major retrospective exhibition dedicated to the lifetime achievement of Swiss artist Balthasar Burkhard (1944–2010). His oeuvre is almost unparalleled in the way it reflects not only the self-invention of a photographer but also the emancipation of photography as an artistic medium in its own right during the second half of the twentieth century.

The exhibition charts the many facets of Burkhard’s career, ste… more

Jakob Tuggener (1904–1988) is one of the exceptional figures in Swiss photography. His personal and highly expressive photographs of boisterous parties given by the upper social classes are legendary. His book Fabrik published in 1943 is regarded as a milestone in the history of the photobook. The exhibition “Machine Age” focuses mainly on his photographs and films of the world of labour and industry. These reflect not only the swift technical development from the textile indus… more

Blind Spots

20 May – 8 Oct 2017


Dominic Nahr’s photographs are highly estimated in international newsrooms. They unfold their full force, however, in exhibitions. Released from the utility value of reporting on current affairs, their pictorial idiom and deliberate composition shift impressively to the fore. Then the hard facts of international hot spots are just the external scaffold from which to immerse oneself deeply in the life worlds of the people portrayed. Nahr’s images communicate mind-sets and moods whic… more

17 Sep 2016 – 29 Jan 2017



Since his first trip to Haiti in 1997 Thomas Kern (*1965) has repeatedly returned there to capture the turbulent history of the former Pearl of the Antilles. Reserved and at the same time close to the people, he documents everyday life in one of the world’s poorest countries in a classical black-and-white. His photographs testify to the great individual efforts made and the tiny joys experienced in a country marked by natural catastrophes, political instability and a creeping ecological… more

Portraits play a major role in the work of Barbara Davatz (born 1944). For more than 40 years she has repeatedly devoted her attention to the question of how people can be captured and presented by means of a camera. What does a picture say about the person portrayed? Which photographs seem authentic? How much staging is permitted? And when does an image become a projection surface?

Her long-term study entitled "As Time Goes B", which was completed in 2014 and has just recently been… more

A great find: almost 1,250 glass negatives dating from between 1910 and 1925 that had defied the ravages of time in the archive of the Swiss picture agency Keystone. While the quality of those photographs was well known, the circumstances under which they were taken were largely obscure. Now, thanks to thorough research work, a new chapter in the history of Swiss photography can be written: the glass negatives form part of the extensive oeuvre of Jules Decrauzat (1879-1960), who was born in Bi… more

The Swiss film-maker and photographer Rudy Burckhardt (1914-1999) settled in New York in 1935. Overwhelmed by the sheer size of the metropolis, by the contrast between the monumental skyscrapers and the hustle and bustle on the streets down below, he began to process his impressions in photographs and films.

A reserved man, he initially devoted his attention to details of facades and to striking advertising texts and graphic signs of all kinds. Later he observed the passers-by and also docum… more

Over a period of decades she accompanied Libuna, a Roma woman living in Prague, through the ups and downs of life.

Schulthess gained fame in the 1970s as the inventor of the aerial panorama.
