The exhibition presents works by several artists who were central to our program during those years, including Peter Hopkins, K.R.H. Sonderborg, Bert de Beul, and Lucebert. Sfeir-Semler played a key role in reviving interest in Lucebert in the late 1980s and early 1990s. A former member of the Cobra group, he had faded from the public eye. Working together with Rudolf Springer we succeeded in placing some of his paintings in major collections. As for the youngest artist in the show, Christine Streuli, her pop art-inspired painting Keep Distance was part of the series done for the Swiss Pavilion at the 2007 Venice Biennale.
