PATRICIA LOW CONTEMPORARY

Established in Gstaad in 2005, Patricia Low Contemporary is a Swiss art gallery specialising in Cont Moritz.

Established in Gstaad in 2005, Patricia Low Contemporary is a Swiss gallery specializing in Contemporary art. The focus is primarily on introducing the most prominent international artists to our audience, with an emphasis on the legacies of Neue Wilde, Contemporary German Painting, Young British Art, Contemporary Photography, Post-Feminism, and Pop. Pivotal artists who have exhibited in the galle

ry at the height of their careers include André Butzer, Sylvie Fleury, Peter Halley, Axel Hütte, Bjarne Melgaard, Jonathan Meese, Marc Quinn, Anselm Reyle, Katharina Sieverding, Gavin Turk, and Thomas Zipp. In December, 2011, Patricia Low Contemporary expanded by opening a second larger space in St. Both Alpine galleries are centrally located and ideal for viewing cosmopolitan world-class art while providing inspiration to artists, curators, and clients alike. The program has also evolved to include newly emerging positions in contemporary art such as Gabriel Vormstein, Sebastian Hammwöhner, and Nathan Mabry. PLC offers an innovative, diverse, and multi-platformed program of solo and curated group exhibitions running concurrently at each venue. The gallery participates in select international art fairs while also advising on secondary market works by key figures such Damien Hirst, Robert Indiana, Takashi Murakami, and many others. Major artists – including Thomas Zipp and Marilyn Minter – have organized group exhibitions at the gallery, providing insight into their influences, thought processes, and creative networks. Patricia Low Contemporary has a strong commitment to facilitating the artistic process and actively encourages innovative practice. From 2007 to 2009 the gallery ran the Maison Jaune residency program in Gstaad, where invited artists created site-specific work; though the residency is now on hiatus, the chalet location is still used by many of the gallery artists as a studio retreat. From 2009 to 2012 the gallery held operations in Geneva, presenting strong exhibitions from the roster of gallery artists and dynamic group shows such as Pop my Cherry a critically hard-hitting exhibition focusing on the glamour of pop.

Three of the Barry X Ball’s recent stone Buddha sculptures are presented in Basilica San Giorgio Maggiore’s sacristy, arranged in a cruciform composition. Enveloping each podium and its supporting structures into the sculpture, the works create a subtle meeting point between the Catholic faith and Buddhist philosophy. Among them, ‘Mirrored Buddha Herms’ stands out as a visual and conceptual dialogue between a 15th-century Japanese sculpture and its mirrored counterpart in Belgian black marble, created by the artist.

For further information on works and availability, please get in touch with the gallery directly.

Across ‘The Belt of Venus’ by Daniel Crews-Chubb, paint behaves almost like a living substance. Bodies surface, dissolve, and reappear through dense textures and fractured forms, pulling together mythology, sexuality, violence, and transformation into something deliberately unstable.

Crews-Chubb brings together six new monumental paintings in this exhibition that extend his exploration of the human form into increasingly abstract territory. Taking its title, ‘The Belt of Venus’, from the atmospheric phenomenon seen just before sunrise or after sunset, the exhibition is held together by a pinkish, celestial afterglow that directly informs the palette, creating works that feel both otherworldly and grounded in the body.

Humour remains an important instrument within Erwin Wurm’s practice, while invoking essential philosophical, psychological and social questions. A critique of contemporary society frequently emerges in response to capitalist influences and the social pressures the artist sees as contrary to our inner ideals.

Through works that expand, distort and anthropomorphise everyday forms, Wurm continues to question the boundaries between abstraction and representation, and between the ordinary and the absurd.

“I remember visiting Rome when I was younger and being struck by how many statues were missing limbs.

I also had a similar experience at the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, where I saw a huge stone carving of the Aztec moon goddess Coyolxãuhqui with all her limbs separated from her torso. I’m always looking for those kinds of visual links across ancient cultures.

What interests me is how these fragments still feel recognisable, but are so eroded by time that you can never fully grasp them. They sit somewhere between image and memory. There is a kind of pareidolia in it, where you are constantly trying to complete what is missing. The figures in my paintings work in a similar way. They appear and disappear like fragments of a distant memory.”

- Daniel Crews-Chubb speaking to Amelie Bachert for Sleek magazine

Artist Barry X Ball () takes viewers on a tour of his latest exhibition ‘The Shape of Time’, a major survey of the sculptural practice of the American artist coinciding with the 61st Venice Biennale. With works in the show taken up to 12 years to produce, this video showcases the extent of the Ball’s practice highlighted throughout Andrea Palladio’s historical Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore.

“We’re standing in Andrea Palladio’s last work (Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore). I have worked very hard to integrate my works into the spaces and make it seem as if those works had been here forever..“

“I also wanted it [the corridor] to appear as if we’re at the Museum of Natural History in the Hall of Gems and Minerals, to have the incredible variety of nature play out in front of you.”

The Shape of Time by Barry X Ball is presented from May 9 until November 22, 2026. For further information on works and availability, please get in touch with the gallery directly.

“The ordinary is so close and so familiar to us that we are inclined to neglect it. Looking at the ordinary from the perspective of the absurd and paradox gives us an opportunity to see something different, perhaps more interesting.”

– Erwin Wurm

Open now at Museo Fortuny: the first major monographic exhibition in Italy dedicated to Erwin Wurm.

Over the course of his career, Wurm has radically expanded the concept of sculpture, questioning notions of time, mass and surface, abstraction and representation. His celebrated One Minute Sculptures, begun in 1996–97, provide observers with instructions indicating actions or poses to be performed with everyday objects, challenging the boundaries between art and everyday life, viewer and participant.

Across the large-scale canvas of Daniel Crews-Chubb’s ‘Out of Chaos XVII’, bodies appear as single, almost immortal figures or as dense groupings emerging, quite literally, “out of chaos”. While rooted in art history, mythology, and classical sculpture, the figures resist being fixed or passively consumed. Instead, they remain powerful, mysterious, and self-possessed, existing somewhere between the painted surface and the viewer’s own perception.

Inside a UNESCO World Heritage site, Barry X Ball’s sculptures enter into dialogue with centuries of spiritual and architectural history.

‘The Shape of Time’ is thoughtfully curated to resonate with the sacred character of the Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore, a historic church situated on its namesake island within the renowned Venice Lagoon, itself designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Barry X Ball (b. 1955, Pasadena) is an American sculptor based in New York City. He is widely recognized for reinterpreting classical figurative sculpture by merging advanced digital technology with traditional, highly detailed hand craftsmanship.

For further information on works and availability, please get in touch with the gallery directly.

‘The Shape of Time’ by Barry X Ball is presented from May 9 until November 22, 2026.

Daniel Crews-Chubb (b. 1984, London, England) makes compelling works that employ a traditional expressionistic, painterly language amid a conceptual framework investigating the potency of the iconic image and the dramatic dynamism of historic and contemporary visual language. In ‘The Belt of Venus’, he continues his ongoing exploration into mythological understandings of existence.

“Mythology has always interested me and often informs the work. I like the idea of the figures existing as broken memories of these icons, references that shift and mutate through the painting process.”

In Barry X Ball’s recent exhibition at San Giorgio Maggiore, a sculpture depicting Pope Saint John Paul II incorporates complex iconography into its elaborate surface, including references to: the 1981 assassination attempt (the only gold found in the work: a bullet), the Virgin Mary, Jesus, skis (in response to his physical vigour), a Star of David, a Star and Crescent, as well as strategically placed historical figures like Hi**er and Stalin - a testament to the evil powers that the Pope lived through. If you look hard enough, you may also find a self-portrait of Barry himself.

A 12 year collaborative project with the Italian jeweller Damiani, this highly detailed bust tells a life story through silver tapestry, forming an intricate portrait of the religious figure.

Barry X Ball’s creative process blends thousands of hours of traditional hand-finishing with 3D scanning, computer programs - out of his studio in Brooklyn, New York. Barry has exhibited internationally at institutions including Ca’ Rezzonico during the Venice Biennale, PS1 Contemporary Art Center, the Museum of Arts and Design, and Kunsthalle Krems. His work is held in major public and private collections including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Hammer Museum, the Olbricht Collection, and the Panza Collection.
