The Facts
On September 10, 2026, Kunsthaus Zürich announced 'Evergreens. Selected Works from the Collection,' opening September 11, 2026, and running through January 10, 2027. The exhibition presents masterpieces from the museum's holdings in new juxtapositions spanning multiple eras, including works by Claude Monet, Ferdinand Hodler, Pablo Picasso, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, and Jean Tinguely. Highlights include Monet’s water lilies, Andy Warhol's 'Big Torn Campbell’s Soup Can (Vegetable Beef)', and Francis Bacon’s monumental triptych. The show covers some 800 m² in the Chipperfield building and features personal perspectives from Zurich residents explaining their chosen favorite works.
The Signal
The exhibition marks the first gathering of works from different periods in the Chipperfield building, positioning the museum's core collection—built over more than a century by the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft—in dialogue with contemporary viewers. By removing masterpieces from their usual contexts, Kunsthaus Zürich reinforces its strategy of making its permanent collection dynamic and accessible. This approach signals institutional emphasis on public engagement over blockbuster loans, while a concurrent loan of 85 works to Seoul’s National Museum of Korea from November 2026 to April 2027 underscores the collection's international relevance.
