Kunsthaus Zürich to Present 'Evergreens' Exhibition Featuring Monet, Picasso, Warhol from Sept. 2026
The Facts
Kunsthaus Zürich announced an exhibition titled 'Evergreens. Selected Works from the Collection', running from September 11, 2026 to January 10, 2027. The show will feature masterpieces by Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Ferdinand Hodler, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Jean Tinguely, and others, drawn from the museum's core holdings. Works will be recontextualized in new juxtapositions across 800 square meters in the Chipperfield building, with wall texts by Zurich residents—including celebrities—explaining their personal connections to selected pieces. Highlights include Monet's water lilies, Warhol's 'Big Torn Campbell's Soup Can (Vegetable Beef)', and Francis Bacon's monumental triptych.
The Signal
The exhibition refocuses attention on the Kunsthaus's own collection, which has been built over more than a century through purchases, gifts, and collector support, rather than on the high-profile private collections (Looser, Merzbacher, Bührle) that dominated recent programming. By pairing works across eras—such as Tinguely's machine sculpture with H.R. Giger's painting—the museum signals a curatorial strategy that prioritizes dialogue and visitor engagement over chronological or monographic display. The concurrent loan of 85 works to the National Museum of Korea in Seoul (November 27, 2026–April 18, 2027) underscores the international stature of the Kunsthaus collection.
