Christoph Rütimann

Christoph Rütimann (*1955), one of Switzerland’s foremost representatives of contemporary art, is known for the diversity of his œuvre, which he has presented at home and abroad in numerous exhibitions and performances. A major survey of his works on paper was on view in 2016 at Kunstmuseum Solothurn, also included a selection of Rütimann’s videos and sculptures in which the line played a crucial role.

In conjunction with the exhibition, a benchmark publication is forthcoming on Rütimann’s drawings, not only referencing the exhibition in Solothurn but also reproducing and discussing other important groups of drawings. The publication offers in-depth inquiry into the role of the drawings and works on paper within Rütimann’s œuvre as a whole. The dual language publication contains essays by Gerhard Mack, Zsuzsanna Gahse and Christoph Vögele.
