AXA Switzerland's Corporate Collection focuses on modern and contemporary works. Swiss artists such as Silvie Fleury, Max Bill, Franz Gertsch and John M. Armleder form the core collection, but international artists, including Leiko Ikemura, Andy Warhol, Franz West and John Chamberlain, also feature. It was established in the 1920s by Winterthur Insurance and comprises approx. 1,300 works.
John Chamberlain, Straits of Night, 1986, metal, chromium-plated and painted, five elements
The collection is mostly on display in AXA's public areas, representative rooms and buildings throughout Switzerland. It promotes employee communication, stimulates constructive engagement and supports tolerance of different ways of thinking and opinions.
Max Bill, Untitled, 1982, 1969, 1983, color serigraphs, and Franz Gertsch, Natascha III, 1986, color woodcut
In the past few years, innovative work environments led to structural changes in AXA premises. This also affected the art in the buildings, offering the opportunity to reposition existing artworks, gear the collection towards Swiss and international contemporary art and make additional purchases.
Young and contemporary art is displayed in temporary exhibitions on the "AXA Exhibition Wall" in the Superblock building in Winterthur. This exhibition space means that AXA is encouraging cultural development in the region.
From November 20, 2024 to March 24, 2025, Selina Frölicher and Micha Bietenhader will present a cross section of their works at the AXA Superblock in Winterthur.
The interest in digital errors and disturbances is unmistakable in the work of the artist duo frölicher I bietenhader. They analyze the limits of various media, explore the failure of storage media or the short-term incorrect output of image and sound content. Inexplicable defects and brittle inadequacies create a fascinating visual world with enchanting charisma. Fragmentary, expansive forms of expression induce a captivating effect. The artist duo skillfully manipulates our trust in the digital world.
