Zurich Art Weekend presented a high-quality programme across museums, galleries, and non-profit venues in Zurich. Highlights included a comprehensive exhibition at Museum Ludwig featuring Marisol's work from the 1950s onward, including her luminous resin sculptures priced at €800,000 and €850,000. Other notable shows included Mariuccia Secol at Muzeum Susch, Mohamed Bourouissa at Galerie Mennour, and solo exhibitions by Valentin Carron, Marc Bauer, Irma Blank, and Nosik Lim. Galleries such as Hauser & Wirth, Eva Presenhuber, Peter Kilchmann, Mai 36, and sothu participated, with prices ranging from €5,000 to over €3 million.
The event matters because it underscores Zurich's growing role as a hub for both established and rediscovered artists, with strong market interest from Europe and the US. The inclusion of feminist and collaborative practices, along with works by Swiss and international artists, reflects a broader trend toward diversity and historical re-evaluation in the art world. The weekend also highlights the increasing commercial viability of artists like Marisol and Mariuccia Secol, whose markets are expanding beyond Europe.
