You can get the impression that in the alleys of Ascona more dogs than inhabitants are walking. That’s why the Galleria SACCHETTI dedicates a small, but fine exhibition to man’s dearest friend at the beginning of the season. The visitors meet stubborn dachshunds, playful terriers, strong bulldogs or lively Dalmatians. On display are ceramics, drawings, paper cuts and paintings. Four-legged friends are very welcome!
The Galleria SACCHETTI will be showing selected works from the past exhibitions from 9th of November 2019 until 4th of January 2020. During the aperitif, the following artists will be present: Marlis Spielmann, Mario Dilitz, Michele Lamassa and Stephan Spicher.
Galleria SACHETTI is pleased to announce that Annelies Štrba will be represented with a work in the exhibition Die Neue Fotografie at Kunstbaus Zürich, which runs from 11 November 2019 to 9 February 2020.

The Galleria SACCHETTI shows new works by Petra Gabriele Dannehl, who commutes between Hamburg and Ticino. The artist’s picture worlds with their mysterious charisma focus on the person whom the artist lets meander between dream and reality. Her protagonists, whose faces are often shadowily hinted at or depicted as back figures, are in her most recent paintings in landscapes, sometimes accompanied by animals, and long for a life in harmony with nature.
With scissors and paper, Marlis Spielmann creates works full of humor and depth. In her paper cuts the human figure is emphasized, moving away from folkloric subjects such as farmer or cows. Events in the surrounding environment, her own observations and experiences as well as images originating from the artist’s fantasy flow into one another. Each work is individually painted with acrylic, giving them a harmonious elegance and three-dimensional effect.
The Galleria SACCHETTI shows for the first time in Switzerland the oil paintings, executed in a delicate manner, by the German artist Jochen Görlach. His works reflect a profound study of Baroque painting, especially with the stylistic device of chiaroscuro. Against a dark background, parts of human bodies stand out – heads, arms, hands, legs – captured by a light that cannot be clearly located. Görlach’s figures, who appear oblivious and whose actions are not easily deciphered by the viewer, seem to emerge from nowhere. They show and hide themselves at the same time.
The Galleria SACCHETTI shows for the first time in Switzerland works by the South Tyrolean Christian Verginer. The artist creates fascinatingly detailed sculptures and relief-like works of limewood. Verginer’s sculptural works are predominantlylife-size representations of people, endowed with different attributes, accentuated by the use of green acrylic paint; some hold an axe or scissors in their hands, others carry a bird’s nest on their shoulders or are stuck with one leg in a flower pot. In an ironic and sometimes provocative way, the sculptor traces the ambivalent relationship between man and nature.
During the vernissage, Bat Battiston will perform music with the guitar (blues).
As part of the large-scale show entitled Spiegel – der Mensch im Widerschein at the Rietberg Museum in Zurich, a work by Annelies Štrba will be on display until 22 September 2019. With around 200 exhibition objects, the mirror’s eight millennia-old world history will be told from various perspectives. It’s about mirror images, self-knowledge, vanity, beauty, mysticism and magic, about protection and defence and about the mirror that is current today – the Selfie.
