Private Dancer
The exhibition, Private Dancer, was put together to mark the 75th birthday of publisher and art collector Michael Ringier. The title of the exhibition refers to the 1984 album of the same name by Tina Turner, the acclaimed musician and close friend of the family.
The exhibition focuses on works from the Ringier Collection which, due to their dimensions, materiality or fragility, cannot be shown on the company鈥檚 premises or private rooms, where works from the collection are presented in regularly changing exhibitions. Some of the works on display here have therefore not left storage for a long time and have been supplemented in the exhibition with smaller works by artists from the collection. For example, wall works by Laura Owens (b. 1970), Rosemarie Trockel (b. 1952) and Sturtevant (1924鈥�2014) are on display, which, given their height of over three meters, can virtually only be shown in exhibition spaces.
Works by Cyprien Gaillard, Philippe Parreno, Sturtevant and others are shown on the 1st floor (schwarzescaf锚). Works by Ed Atkins, Fischli/Weiss and Rirkrit Tiravanija can be seen on the 2nd floor and, on the 3rd floor, those by Urs Fischer, Andreas Gursky, Laura Owens, Richard Prince, Jean-Fr茅d茅ric Schnyder and Rosemarie Trockel, among others.
The selection of works was compiled by Beatrix Ruf, curator of the collection from 1996 to 2015, and Rahel Bl盲ttler, collection manager and curator of the collection.
