Galerie Stephan Witschi began in 2006. We previously worked under the name vernisSAGEfinis, which developed into an off venue in Zurich. An amalgam of the German for exhibition opening (Vernissage) and exhibition closing (Finissage), the name was a shorthand description of our events. Our exhibitions only lasted a weekend, but that made them all the more intensive. As our success grew, so did our aspirations. And so in 2006 we decided to move to a new location and become a full-time operation. The new gallery is close to Zurich's Central Station, tucked away in a charming courtyard. Today we represent about 10 artists. One of the qualities that sets the gallery apart is the diversity of the works on show, ranging from figurative painting to sculpture to photography. And we often feature with young artists. In future we hope to take more of an international focus, especially in the Asian art market. An exciting first step in that direction was an exhibition with renown Korean photographer Jungjin Lee. Publishing is the other key part of our concept. We release up to three art books every year, usually in collaboration with the gallery's own artists, but also with outside talent. One example is our new publication, Roman Signer – Reden und Gespräche, a collection of the artist's own talks and conversations about his work.
