30 Years Galerie Peter Kilchmann
Galerie Peter Kilchmann is pleased to celebrate its 30th anniversary with a wide-ranging exhibition and an accompanying publication. The 30 Years Anniversary Exhibition brings together 48 artists who have all helped shape the gallery's history in their own way and at one point in time. The exhibition will occupy all spaces in the gallery on Rämistrasse and present over 70 artworks spanning three decades.
In 1992, Peter Kilchmann opened his first gallery space in the former Schoeller-Hardturm factory in the west of Zurich. A small group of galleries had ventured into this neighborhood, which at the time had little of its current hip appeal and was considered a purely industrial district. It was a move driven by curiosity and a pioneering spirit that helped to advance the contemporary art scene in Zurich. A programmatic focus at the beginning was particularly on the media of photography and video art, which at the time were still little established and rarely shown in galleries.
