Founded in 1981, Andata Ritorno is a contemporary art gallery that has given its space to a number of emerging artistes since its inception. The center is dedicated to promoting fresh talent and has the workshops of several artists as well. Some of the artists to have displayed their art here include Gianni Motti, Yan Duyvendak, Guy Limone and Qui Jie.
Sponsored by Geneva's Department of Cultural Affairs, Halle Nord is a non-profit interactive arts space that seeks to promote contemporary local artists. Sandwiched between a gallery and an art center, the Halle is more of a laboratory, a place of experimentation and expression. In addition to frequent performances and community events, it hosts about fifteen temporary group and solo exhibits each year, all with the goal of facilitating important interactions between ground-breaking Swiss artists and its broader public.
Established by former director of Sotheby's France, this art gallery not only exhibits an array of 19th and 20th-century artwork, it also strives to showcase a revolving selection of emerging Swiss and international talent. The gallery also works with art-lovers and collectors to find new treasures for their collections. Check the website for more information on the ongoing exhibits here.
With branches in various popular cities like Los Angeles, New York, London and Rome, Geneva could boast of its own Gagosian Gallery since 2010. A brainchild of art enthusiast, Larry Gagosian, this art gallery aims at giving impetus to contemporary art in the city, promoting it to a wider audience. Modern thought expressed through paintings, sculpture, photography and other art forms are well represented here. Gagosian Gallery also offers its platform to launch upcoming Genevan artists.
