Museum Haus Konstruktiv

Situated in the heart of Zurich, Museum Haus Konstruktiv is one of the leading galleries in the Swiss cultural landscape. The still-thriving mindset of the Zurich Concretists – Max Bill, Richard Paul Lohse, Verena Loewensberg and Camille Graeser – and the stimuli of intellectually akin conceptual art constitute the notional basis for the exhibitions and their accompanying events.
Six to nine temporary exhibitions a year, consistently conceived according to clear programmatic perspectives, make Museum Haus Konstruktiv unique within the cultural landscape.
The Rockefeller Dining Room (1963/64), conceived and implemented in New York by Swiss artist Fitz Glarner for Nelson A. Rockefeller and his wife, is a permanent installation and simultaneously the centerpiece of the collection. This walk-through painting is a prime example of a so-called "Relational Painting."

Das Museum Haus Konstruktiv widmet in den Sommermonaten dem italienischen Künstler Salvatore Emblema (1929 Terzigno – 2006 ebenda) die erste retrospektiv angelegte Ausstellung in der Schweiz. Gezeigt werden Malereien, skulpturale Objekte und Installationen aus dem Nachlass.

Salvatore Emblema schuf mit seiner Formensprache ein eindringliches und archaisch anmutendes Werk, das sich keinem Stil zuordnen lässt, aber dennoch Bezüge zur Minimal Art und Arte Povera aufweist.
