Kunsthaus Zürich: Die Meisterwerke

This large format museum collection catalog offers a sweeping overview of the celebrated holdings of the Kunsthaus Zürich, one of Switzerland’s most important art museums. Spanning centuries of European art history, the publication brings together highlights from the museum’s permanent collection in a visually rich and accessible volume.

The catalog traces the evolution of European painting from late Gothic works and Dutch Golden Age masters to Italian eighteenth century painting, Impressionism, Symbolism, Expressionism, and twentieth century modernism. Major artists represented include Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Beckmann, Alberto Giacometti, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Francis Bacon, and Cy Twombly.

Designed as both a scholarly museum reference and a visually engaging “picture book,” the publication emphasizes high quality reproductions and broad historical scope. The selection reflects the extraordinary diversity of the Kunsthaus Zürich collection, moving fluidly between painting, sculpture, and modern artistic experimentation.

Published by Hatje Cantz, this catalog is an essential addition for readers interested in European museum collections, modern art history, and institutional art publishing.
