Marguerite Hersberger

17 May to 27 September 2026

 

Exhibition opening: Saturday, 16 May 2026, 5 p.m.

 

Over more than five decades, Swiss artist Marguerite Hersberger (born 1943) has created a unique, constructive body of work characterised by great atmospheric sensuality. A precise geometric vocabulary and a reduced design, familiar from concrete art or minimalism, combine in her compositions with vibrant constellations of colours and shapes that come from a great joy of experimentation and a sure aesthetic sense.
