About
For over thirty years Laszlo von Vertes has ranked among the most prominent international art dealers for Impressionism, Fauvism, German Expressionism, Surrealism, the École de Paris and Pop Art. From his gallery located in the elegant premises of 3 Bahnhofstrasse in Zürich he hosts private and international collections which are renowned worldwide.
Laszlo von Vertes opened his first gallery in Munich in 1981 and developed it at the St. Moritz and Salzburg sites to the point where the spectacularly located, spacious gallery in Zürich came into being. His name is synonymous with discretion and professionalism. A committed, skilled team of experts and art historians assists him in his international activities. The gallery has been participating in leading art fairs such as TEFAF Maastricht, Art Cologne, Highlights Munich and Art Miami for the last twenty years. Laszlo von Vertes has also been involved as a lender in important exhibitions such as ‘The Steins Collect’ at the SFMOMA, Centre Pompidou and the Metropolitan Museum. ‘Matisse und die Fauves’ in the Albertina in Vienna and ‘Horizont Jawlensky’ in the Museum Wiesbaden were also supported by him.
Over twenty-five years, Laszlo von Vertes accompanied Swiss businessman Gérard J. Corboud in putting together a high quality and varied collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Fauvist and German Expressionist pieces. It resulted in one of the most significant collections of impressionist art in Europe. In March 2001, Gérard Corboud and his wife gave over 170 paintings from this collection to the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne as a ‘permanent loan’. Collections also looked after by Galerie von Vertes include the Würth Collection (Germany), the Batliner Collection in Vienna (on permanent loan in the Albertina) as well as the National Gallery in Washington and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
Exceptional pieces by Albers, Bonnard, Degas, van Dongen, Ernst, Feininger, von Jawlensky, Kandindsky, Manguin, Matisse, Münter, Kandinsky, Pechstein, Picasso, Richter, de Vlaminck, Warhol and Wesselmann are currently being displayed in the 450 square metres gallery in Zurich.
