The art supermarket has broken the shackles of the traditional art market of museums, galleries and art associations and has been successfully promoting its concept of "art for all" for 25 years. On November 7, the 25th and last Swiss Art Supermarket will open in Solothurn.
The exhibition concept is controversial. The problem is less the art on display than the organizers, who do not fit into the conventional art market. They call their exhibition a "supermarket" and let the visitors judge what is good art. Because art criticism is never fair.
"We show our audience the joy of art and take them away from the overheated and decadent art business in museums, fairs and galleries," explain the exhibition organizers. Simplicity instead of glamor, honesty instead of pomp, but above all joy instead of money and whispers.
This year will be the last time the art supermarket takes place in Switzerland, but the locations abroad will remain. The 25th Art Supermarket in Solothurn will be open daily from November 8. Around 7200 works will be presented in four price categories ranging from 99 to 599 francs. The variety of styles and techniques on display is overwhelming and the quality is outstanding. The declared aim of the exhibition organizers is to make good art accessible and affordable for everyone.
The 25th Swiss Art Supermarket will take place from November 8 to January 12, 2025 in the RothusHalle in Solothurn. Vernissage: Thursday, November 7 from 6 pm. The exhibition is open daily. Admission free of charge.
