GROUP EXHIBITION

Museum Haus Konstruktiv’s collection comprises around 1000 works, providing a high-quality overview of the development of concrete, constructivist and conceptual art from the 1920s to the present day. The collection has been growing – largely due to donations from artists, galleries and private collectors. In addition, the club Fonds Konkret and (since 2014) a bequest from Elisabeth Launer have enabled targeted acquisitions of contemporary art, thus aiding the ongoing expansion of the collection and interlinking of artistic positions.

The centrepiece of We Are Here! is the rear exhibition hall, which is dedicated to the Zurich Concretists Max Bill, Richard Paul Lohse, Verena Loewensberg, Camille Graeser and those associated with them. Their artwork, which still resonates far beyond Zurich today, gave rise to the establishment of the museum’s supporting foundation in 1986, which is now called the Foundation for Constructivist, Concrete and Conceptual Art.
