The Ricola Collection: Present and Past -9783039422463

描述

Ricola is a Swiss global brand, famous for its herbal candies, based in the town of Laufen, near Basel. Since 1975, the shareholders of the still family-owned business have been building the Ricola Collection systematically with a focus on Swiss art. Open to the public and on display in buildings that celebrated Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron have designed for the company since 1983, the collection spans more than half a century and represents the latest trends in contemporary art.

This lavishly illustrated book offers a lively insight into the collection, its history and presence in Ricola’s corporate life, and places it within the Swiss art scene. Concise comments on a large selection of individual works round off this volume.
