RIEHEN, SWITZERLAND – A retrospective of the controversial American artist Jeff Koons opened to the public Sunday 13 May at the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen, near Basel, and the artist encourages viewers to engage in a dialogue with his work.
Koons’ work, presented here for the first time in Switzerland, includes “hybrids”, as he calls them, of some of his most renowned pieces such as the shiny “Hanging Heart”. It gained notoriety in 2007 for being, at $23.6 million, the most expensive piece sold at auction of any living artist.
“Michael Jackson and Bubbles” a porcelain sculpture of the pop singer and his pet monkey, is also present, reflecting, as co-curator Theodora Vischer explains, Michelangelo’s Pietà by its layout.
Hanging Heart 1994-2006
The artist, born in 1955, was present at the show’s opening. He told journalists at a press conference that his art is the result of a “process of acceptance and discovery of the world around oneself”.
Part of that process is to break the taboo amongst artists, who would not admit to want to manipulate viewers through their art. “The objects are transponders, the art is in the viewer”, he says.
The viewer is reminded of his existence through his reflection in glittering oversized glossy metallic objects such as “Balloon Dog”,
Koons’ marriage to Italian porn star, Cicciolina and his subsequent custody battle for their son led the artist to destroy much of the explicit pornographic pieces of Koons and his ex-wife. “They were beautiful”, he says, but “they could have affected the custody rulings”.
The presence of the sexual is evident throughout the repertory on display at the Beyeler. “Balloon Swan”, another glossy sculpture, “is at the same time masculine and feminine,” says Koons, ” It calls out what it means to be human, offering a male perspective of sexual harmony.”

Even the multiple neon-lit displays of pristine-new Hoovers filling one of the gallery’s rooms does not escape Koons’s “trail of thought”, according to Vischer, who points to the “androgenous sexual nature of the objects, with their orifices and sucking power”.
In the museum’s garden, visitors will find Split-Rocker, a half pony-half dinosaur monument made of thousands of blooming flowers, which had only previously been displayed in Avignon in 2000 and Versailles in 2006.

Beyeler director Sam Keller defends the artist, who has been lambasted by critics for commissioning the production of his pieces to others, saying that Koons resembles the “conductor of a symphony orchestra … responsible for an industrial renaissance” among qualified artisans.
The exhibit regroups the artist’s work into three phases, called The New, Banality and Celebration.
It is showing at the Beyeler in Riehen, 13 May – 2 September 2012.

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – The Montreux Jazz Festival likes to surprise and this year’s poster will startle more than one concert-lover. American photographer Greg Gorman has created the first MJF poster to feature a photographic image since 1967, the first year of the festival.
This year’s poster, says Gorman, focuses on the contemplative experience of listening to music.
The Montreux Jazz Festival takes place 29 June to 14 July 2012.
“The model’s pose should suggest movement, as he is turning his head as if he had heard something and wants to hold onto it – a fleeting moment. It is perhaps a voice, a noise or sound. The sand dune in the background also plays an important role. The sheer height and depth of the dune evokes a sense of emptiness and in its simplicity presents a stage for contemplation, a central experience when listening to music. The open background also provides literal space for the viewer’s own interpretation. The subject is placed in a non cluttered open environment.
“The visual arts, from an illustrative point of view, are less confrontational than photography. I believe that the decision to allow me to present a nude was a very courageous one, because nudity in photography is real and very direct. To offer a photographer carte blanche once again after so many years clearly illustrates the readiness of the festival to try out new things, to take risks and to surprise people.”
Gorman stepped into photography through his love of music. He borrowed a camera to shoot Jimi Hendrix at a 1968 concert and when he saw the image come up in a darkroom he was hooked, he says. In his 40-year career Gorman has photographed scores of musicians, including: Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Frank Zappa, Grace Jones, Elton John, George Clinton, Boy George, Tom Waits, Billy Idol, Leon Russell, Nina Hagen, Fleetwood Mac, Morrissey, Iggy Pop, Vanilla Ice, P. Diddy, RuPaul, Divine, Bette Midler, John Lee Hooker, David Bowie and Quincy Jones, Joan Jett, John Mayer, Melissa Etheridge, Debbie Harry, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Joe Cocker.
He draws a clean parallel between the discomfort yet esthetic appreciation nudes can provoke and the way music can work on us. “Nudity can be fascinating, but may also make some viewers uncomfortable, even nervous. I think music can have the same effect and I think that is one of the interesting things about this project. I love the total unexpected element of the male nude. Music can surprise, unsettle and sometimes even confuse people. A male nude even more so than a female nude, because it is still often thought of as taboo. Hopefully on a certain positive level, this image will have the same effect, but be able to break through that stigma. It is in many ways classical in nature, strong in shape and form and yet delicate and fragile in scale and balance. All of this can be referenced to the extraordinary art of listening to music.”
A Montreux poster is not just all in a day’s work
For those who think photography is a matter of snapping a shot, and for those who are dying to know who the model is, Gorman offers a few words:
“I teach photography workshops at my home in Mendocino, California, four times a year. And that was where I first worked with the model, Jordan David Miles, a 21-year old skateboarder and graffiti artist from Southern California. The initial idea arose from a similar shooting I had done with him, the previous year. During the subsequent shooting for the festival poster, however, l became involved in a long discussion with Jordan, who did not share my vision, and we had to cancel everything the first time out in the dunes because we just weren’t on the same page. I very much value critical feedback and I took Jordan’s concerns very much to heart. I knew we had to be in sync if the concept was going to work. At the second shooting, the light was not working in our favor. It was very overcast and I could not get the contrast, which is a key element in my photography. Finally our third attempt went very well. From all of the previous work, we knew what we needed to accomplish-the exact location, the angle, the right time of day for the light to be perfect (in essence, all of the aspects that needed to go into the photograph including the model’s body language). We got the picture in the can in less than half an hour. All the previous work helped to add to a better result in the end.”
Drawing on the alpine vistas of the four valleys, Stephanie Noble brings her latest exhibition: “Between Summit and Sky,” to Verbier’s Nanuq Gallery. Meet the artist on 17 December 17 at 16:00.

BASEL, SWITZERLAND – Sales at Art Basel are widely expected to be good this year, with the total value of the artwork estimated at $1.75 billion by an expert interviewed by Reuters.
It is the world’s largest contemporary art show, dedicated to the business of selling art, and it will attract 60,000 people in four days, but not everyone is there to buy.
The show is more akin to a modern art museum for many Swiss residents, with the best in contemporary art on display. Some 300 galleries, selected from 1,000 that applied, are showing the work of 2,500 artists, 20th and 21st century works from around the world. American galleries, as usual predominate, with 73 of the places, but German, Swiss and UK galleries are well represented.

Basel Art opened Wednesday, following a day of celebrity and official guests and parties, and it closes Sunday evening 19 June. There are five basic elements: the galleries, Art Feature, Art Unlimited with 62 large-scale works, Art Statements and Art Edition.
Money matters at Basel Art, so while the casual visitor is admiring the art, hot sales are going on.
BERN, SWITZERLAND – AP news agency reports Tuesday 7 June that Albert Einstein and Confucius won’t be part of a joint museum exhibit in Shanghai after talks ended between the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and Bern’s Historical Museum. The Bern museum’s exhibit on Einstein, a son of the city, is currently on tour in Hong Kong, and Shanghai was interested in hosting it next, but wanted to add to it a large exhibit on Confucius, which the Bern museum says would not be possible, given the difficulties of putting up a travelling show and the short timeframe.
The exhibit, which has appeared in Beijing and Guangdong, is the same as the one that drew 350,000 visitors in Switzerland. It was put together, according to Swissworld, to mark the 100th anniversary of the theory of relativity.
Albert Einstein was living in Bern in 1905 when he developed the famous formula E=mc2 “and thus turned our previous concept of space and time on its head” notes Swissworld.
"Joyful woman", 1909, Ferdinand Hodler
ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – Ferdinand Hodler remains a favourite among Swiss artists, with his 1909 “Joyful woman” selling for CHF2.88 million at Sotheby’s Zurich Swiss art sale Monday evening 30 May, the top item. Felix Vallotan’s “Naked woman kneeling in front of a red couch,” 1915, sold for CHF674,500. Both prices were in the range of their pre-auction estimates.
The 128 artworks on auction went for a total of CHF9.5 million, with works by well-known names Hodler, Vallotan, Albert Anker and other early 20th century Swiss avant-garde artists selling as expected.
But there were some surprises. The lovely “Young Valais woman 1915″ by Raphy Dalleves went for CHF206,500, well above the painting’s estimate of CHF80-120,000. Ernest Bieler’s “Two women from Valais in a winter landscape” sold for CHF314,500, also well above the estimated CHF150-200,000, an indication of the growing appreciation for a larger group of Swiss artists.

Basel, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - Christies Europe will auction off an extraordinary art collection 21 and 22 June, the last of the artworks owned by Ernst Beyeler and his wife Hildy, whose collection has often been called one of the great private art collections of the 20th century.
Agency AFP reports that the collection sale will mark the close of the couple’s Basel gallery and includes work from iconic 20th century artists including Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Matisse, Klee and Roy Lichtenstein.
The sale will come just two days after Art Basel ends. The artworks will be part of a Christies evening sale in London the 21st and day sale the 22nd.
Beyeler was the founder of Art Basel, the world’s largest contemporary and modern art fair (note: which last week announced it is adding a third fair, Art Hong Kong to the main fair and a second one, Art Basel Miami Beach).
His career in art took off when he transformed and developed the antiquarian bookshop of a former employer into

the Beyeler Gallery in Basel, which allowed him to build his personal collection.
Ernst Beyeler died, age 88, in February 2010, two years after the death of his wife and close art partner Hildy.
He left instructions for the gallery to be closed upon his death, and the private and business collections to be sold, with proceeds to go to support the Beyeler Foundation in Basel.
The Foundation was created to provide a home, the Beyeler Museum, for the collection, and its purpose is to make the collection available to the public. The museum opened in 1997 and it has become hugely popular, with 300,000 visitors a year.
A Segantini exhibition that ended 25 April had pulled in 100,000 visitors between January 16 and 20 March.

Basel, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - Art Basel’s owners have agreed to buy a majority stake in Art HK – Hong Kong International Art Fair, effective 1 July 2011. MCH Group, which organizes Art Basel, the world’s largest modern and contemporary art fair, and Art Basel Miami Beach, signed the purchase agreement with Asian Art Fairs Ltd, the Swiss group announced 6 May.
The Basel group will have a 60 percent stake, but the price has not been disclosed.
The mid-term goal, the Basel group says, is to convert the Hong Kong fair to the Swiss brand. The 2012 show will take place under the Art HK name, but the date will be moved up from late May to February, and the name and branding change will take place after that.
The Basel fair is held in June. This year the dates are 11-19 June.
“Since its inception in 2008, Art HK has established itself as the leading art show in Asia,” MCH Group said in its statement announcing the deal. “The strong momentum this provides, combined with the great experience and know-how of both organizations, and the expanding art markets throughout Asia, offer great potential for MCH Group to establish a premier art show in this key region, and expand the reach of its art shows globally.”
Art Basel will hold its 42nd edition this June, while the two others shows are much younger: the Miami show opened in 2002 and the Hong Kong art fair in 2008.
Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - The latest Swiss stamp is one of the most unlikely pieces of art created by Thomas Hirschhorn in recent years. The Swiss-born artist, who is based in Paris, is known for his larger than life room-size installations, but to celebrate Switzerland’s part in the Venice Biennale, an international art exhibition held every two years, Hirschhorn agreed to do a tiny-size creation.
The postage stamp shows a torn bit of cardboard, a throwback to Hirschhorn’s earlier days, the post office says in issuing the stamp: “His miniature work is a universal declaration of love for art. The statement ‘Art is Resistance’ summarizes Hirschhorn’s artistic position in a single sentence – an individual contribution which blends into the overall image of the stamp. In designing this stamp as a piece of torn cardboard, Hirschhorn drew inspiration from his earlier works: as an unknown artist in the 1980s, he wrote on cardboard signs and placed them in house doorways or under windscreen wipers.”
The one franc stamp went on sale Thursday 5 May.
Zurich Kunsthaus star centenary show closes 30 January
Review: Picasso, the younger version

Zurich, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The Zurich Kunthaus exhibition of Pablo Picasso’s works, the only show ever curated by the artist himself, ends 30 January and if you haven’t yet seen it, drop what you’re doing and head for the museum.
It’s a one-of-a-kind retrospective, not to be shown anywhere else once it closes, with pieces from London’s Tat, New York’s Moma and Metropolitan museums, the Pompidou in Paris and a rare treat, the loan of Le peintre et son modèle from the Contemporary Museum of Art in Tehran.
The latter was bought by the Shah of Iran, then became state property and this is its first trip abroad. It is the largest painting on display at the Kunsthaus, just as it was in 1932.
The exhibit is a remake, albeit reduced in size, of Picasso’s first museum show, in 1932.
This is the centenary exhibit for the building that houses the Kunsthaus, and it was a brilliant choice, reminding us of the role of this museum in the development of contemporary European art.
Rare chance to re-consider the artist
It is a rare opportunity for all of us to completely re-think how we view this arguably most-famous 20th century artist.
La ceinture jaune: Marie'Thérèse Walter, Pablo Picasso, 1932 (© 2010 ProLitteris, Zurich)
Museums until 1932 were places for older art, not living artists creating hotly debated contemporary works, and as such, the Picasso show caused a stir in the art world. The original had 225 paintings of art from the first three decades of his career. Today’s show has 74 paintings plus four sculptures and 30 drawings, but they form a representative collection from various Picasso periods: pink and blue, Cubist, neo-classical, Surrealist.
More than that, they offer a glimpse of how the artist himself saw his work, how he wanted to be seen. He was a successful, middle-aged painter at this point. The politically-inspired paintings, notably Guernica, were still years down the road, and the long, ragged-edged family life with various wives, suicides and tales about his temper that added an acrid note to his celebrity status, were ahead of him.
Think of the 52-year-old man who had gone through sharp poverty with his young wife, dancer Olga Khokhlova, then tasted success, a father disappointed that his son showed no artistic promise, the artist who stopped a beautiful, athletic young 17-year-old Marie-Thérèse Walter on the streets of Paris to say he would paint her, in 1927.

Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Switzerland has taken more measures since June 2009 to finding the owners and track the history of ownership—the provenance—of art stolen during the Nazi era, but more needs to be done, a report issued 18 January for the Swiss Federal Council shows.
“Museums need to intensify provenance research,” the report notes, and public and private museums both need to do more to raise public awareness of provenance research and the issues involved.
“Access to the results of provenance research as well as to relevant archives has to be simplified,” the report concludes.
Switzerland, which has a significant art market, stepped up its efforts in 2009, after it participated in the international Holocaust Era Assets Conference in Prague and adopted, with 46 other countries, the “Terezin Declaration”.
"Clean Hands" - Photo, Migros Contemporary Art Museum
Zurich, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - The Migros Contemporary Arts Museum in Zurich says an “unimposing bar of soap” currently on display is made of fat removed from Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi during a liposuction procedure in Switzerland.
Swiss-Italian artist Gianni Motti, 52, allegedly got the fat from an unidentified Ticino clinic where Berlusconi underwent cosmetic surgery in 2004 to remove abdominal fat. The AFP news agency says the clinic vehemently denies the artist’s claims.
Motti’s 2005 work called Mani Pulite or “Clean Hands,” makes reference to Italy’s “Clean Hands campaign,” a judicial investigation into political corruption in the 1990s.
According to the exhibit’s curator: “Mani Pulite is an ironic commentary about a tragi-comical political figure who ‘milked’ the story of his cosmetic surgery for publicity. [Someone] vain enough to buy photographs from press agencies in order to prevent them from reaching the public.”
This is the first public display of the object since it was purchased by a private collector in 2005.
The off-white soap, which is the size of a conventional bar, will be exhibited until 28 November.
Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - Switzerland’s reputation for being one of the cleanest, tidiest nations on Earth took a beating some weeks ago when Iceland overtook it for the number one slot on the Ecological Performance Index issued each year by Yale and Columbia universities in the US. Grellor, a Geneva-based cleaning supplies firm, has come to the rescue, with a bright new waste bin line in red designed to attract all of us, with our rubbish.
Pierre Grelly, third generation of the Geneva family that has worked tirelessly to keep us tidy, says of his cheery Swiss multi-language bins that “this new designer urban equipment brings rubbish out of the closet – it is now proudly on display, in our streets, our city squares, our shorelines and even, thanks to chairlifts, near our mountaintop panoramic views.”
Switzerland slipped to second place when it was given a score of 89.1 percent, down from its 95.5 percent in 2009. The index rates 163 countries.
The new Urbanett Ethno bin line is in the running for the Grand Prix de la Création Romand, to be awarded 10 June in Geneva, but you can see them sooner: at the Niesen peak, in the town of Engelberg at the foot of the Titlis mountain and in Haute-Nendaz.
The family-owned business has a turnover of CHF5 million, thanks to the Swiss cleaning and tidying business.
Grindelwald, Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The annual snow sculpture contest in the Bernese Alpine resort of Grindelwald ends Saturday 27 January with awards being handed out in the afternoon. The American team says the Italian team is tipped to win, according to Jungfrau Zeitung, which carries a video and several photos as part of a feature story on the event. It adds that Canadians have a good chance as well, with the best track record, having won 8 of the past 28 contests. Ten national teams are entered. Event details on GenevaLunch

Montreux Jazz Festival 2010, by Britto
Montreux, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - The new Montreux Jazz Festival poster is out, with Romero Britto, Brazilian neo-pop artist providing the bright and lively artwork. This is not Britto’s first work for the Festival: some will remember that he did the poster work for the 33rd Montreux Festival in 1999.
His work is energetic, lively and fresh, defined by a harmonious use of colour and space. His style is on the edge between the directness of marketing and the subtlety of fine art. Think of Paul Klee with a spray can.

Basel, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - “In landscapes, Van Gogh found the peace of mind and balance that was missing from his own life.”
Visitors to a stunning exhibition at Basel’s Kunstmuseum this summer could be excused if they found reason to quibble with this assertion from its curators as they emerge from the 70-painting survey of the Dutch artist’s frenetic 10-year career in the last-but-one decade of the 19th century.
A European cultural event of the year
But there is no doubt that the show in this 1,000-year-old art-mad city is a European cultural event of the year.
“Vincent Van Gogh-Between Earth and Heaven: The Landscapes” has already attracted a record for the Kunstmuseum, one of the continent’s recognized greats, with 250,000 people from around the world in the initial 90 days of its five-month run.
Billed as the first-ever exhibition to cover landscapes from every period of Van Gogh’s work, it ranges from the dark tones of the 1881-85 Brabant rural scenes through to the bright but restrained northern French country views of the frenziedly-productive three months in Auvers before he shot himself in July 1890 on a walk through the fields.
Farmhouse in Provence, June 1888
Cornfield in Provence, June 1888
In between, it covers the bright cityscapes and suburban vistas of his two years in Paris from 1886-88, the blooming orchards and deep-blue sky-and-yellow- wheat Provence harvest scenes of his eventful year in Arles, and the menacing cloud swirls and twisting trees of the 12 months he spent as a patient in the psychiatric hospital at St Remy.
An hour of fame for Everyman and Everywoman in Trafalgar Square: a 100-day art project known as the “Fourth plinth” which presents ordinary citizens as part of a changing, living sculpture, orchestrated by UK artist Antony Gormley, is provoking talk: is it art? Is he the artist or are the true artists his randomly picked subjects? Does this really show 21st century Britain as Gainsborough showed the country in an earlier era? Or is it just a pedestal for attention-getters? Reactions: BBC, Guardian, Times
