Focus. Hans Fischli (1909-1989)

Hans Fischli was a Swiss architect, artist and student of Paul Klee, Josef Albers and Wassily Kandinsky at the Bauhaus. After his return to Switzerland at the end of the 1920s, he created an extensive series of colored pencil and ink drawings under the title Zellengebilde.

Some of these works were created during a three-month prison sentence, which he served for refusing to perform his duties. The title of the series refers to the prison cell as the place of origin and serves as the starting point for the exhibition, which addresses the political situation in the 1930s and 1940s with three architectural projects.

Curators: Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen
