Galerie Privée - Lacoste
In 2016 Bob Gysin set up a new gallery in southern France near the magnificent ruins of Marquis de Sade's mythical castle in the small town of Lacoste. From June until September, important works by Swiss artists will be on display at Galerie Privée alongside a part of the permanent collection of the Bob + Kathrin Gysin Foundation. Surrounded by the Luberon National Park with its resonant past, Galerie Privée offers art lovers an opportunity to see and rediscover recent and earlier works by renowned artists in the fabled light of Provence.
This summer, the Galerie Privée presents the exhibition "Lumière du Sud", featuring works by Swiss photographer Christian Scholz.
Fascinated by the power of southern light, Scholz captured its effect on faces, façades and cobblestones in 2014 and 2015. How differently does eastern, southern and western light burn itself into the surfaces of everyday life? This deliberately black-and-white body of work offers an insight into this exploration.
Other works from the foundation's collection - in particular by Klaus Born, Matthias Bosshart, Bessie Nager, Adrian Schiess and Andrea Wolfensberger - are spread throughout the building.
