Our Corporate Collection

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 Chamberlainalso feature. It was established in the 1920s by Winterthur Insurance and comprises approx. 1,300 works.

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.

Our art exhibitions

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.

Current exhibition

Thalles Piaget, "Morning ritual"

Thalles Piaget is exhibiting his latest photographs in the entrance area of the AXA Superblock in Winterthur from April 2 to November 10, 2025.

Thalles Piaget is subliminally referring to our interaction with smartphones and the close, contradictory and sometimes obsessive relationship with these gadgets. His photographic approach not only exhibits the object but also its appearances. The artist understands how to visualize the search for moments between subject and camera in an abstract and poetic way: for instance, he captures the reflection of a flash created by a smartphone and adds a fascinating level by using artificial intelligence when editing the photographs. Piaget subtly plays on the invisible power of algorithms which sparks open debate.
