EXHIBITION 

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). 

VERNISSAGE: 13th of July, from 4.30pm to 6.30pm, with the presence of the artist 
DURATION: from 13th of July until 24th of August  

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.

PAINTINGS 

The Galleria SACCHETTI has new works on display by Petra Gabriele Dannehl, for example the wonderful oil painting Still Wild Life II (2019). The focal point of her work is mankind. The figures in her paintings move between the realms of reality and dream and are defined through a conscious blurring of their attitude and movement in abstract space and context. She has lived and worked for over 30 years as a freelance artist in Germany and Switzerland.
