Artists

Niele Toroni, Balthasar Burkhard

Press release

With this exhibition, Galerie Tschudi revisits one of the defining moments of a generation of Swiss art. In 1984, Balthasar Burkhard (1944 – 2010) and Niele Toroni (*1937) presented a joint exhibition at the Musée Rath in Geneva. The poster featured two black-and-white images, a brush and a camera, on a white background. No title, no possible comment other than the names of the two artists, is offered to mediate what might appear to be the coming together of two radically different positions. In the exhibition space, however, subtle interactions between these two artists’ work quickly became apparent.
