This exhibition is devoted to Ottilia, the daughter of Giovanni and Annetta Giacometti and sister of Alberto, Diego and Bruno. It turns the spotlight on the least-known figure in the family, who died in 1937 at the age of just 33 while giving birth to her son Silvio.
In addition to a familiar gem from the Collection of Prints and Drawings – Raphael’s study for a fresco in the Vatican Palace – it reveals some previously unknown, masterful examples of the art created by Italians who have secured their place in art history, from Correggio and Guercino to Carlo Maratti.
Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson (b. 1967) is one of the most important artists working today, appearing in leading museums and exhibitions worldwide. He is developing a new installation exclusively for the Kunsthaus Zürich that will occupy the entirety of the Bührle gallery. The exhibition’s subject is the relationship between human beings and the other life-forms and species on Earth – a central theme in the Anthropocene.
