Haus Konstruktiv

The Foundation for Constructive and Concrete Art was founded by private individuals in 1986. From 1987 to spring 2001, it was located at Seefeldstrasse 317 in the outer Seefeld area of Zurich and was known as the "House for Constructive and Concrete Art". Over seventy exhibitions were organised at its previous location, gaining it an international reputation through its concerted promotion of art, its publications and editions.

As the only institution in Switzerland, and one of the first in Europe, the foundation promotes "constructive, concrete and conceptual art and design". Its location in Zurich is no coincidence: artists such as Max Bill, Camille Graeser, Verena Loewensberg and Richard Paul Lohse all worked here and contributed to the development of international modern art. Zurich has become a focal point for new architecture, good design and Swiss graphic design. Furthermore, influential galleries, artists’ unpublished works, foundations and archives of constructive art can be found in Zurich.
