Vilhelm Hammershøi: "The Eye That Listens" | Museum of Art (Kunsthaus Zurich)

Jul 3–Oct 25, 2026 (UTC+1)

Zurich

Exhibitions

A tranquil space, soft light, and subtle alterations to the familiar: the Kunstmuseum Zurich will host Switzerland's first comprehensive museum exhibition of Wilhelm Hammershøi's work. His paintings emphasize perception, atmosphere, and the delicate tension between space and objects.Empty rooms, closed doors, figures with their backs to the viewer: Hammershøi's paintings eschew narrative. There is no action, but rather a sense of focused concentration. The space is both familiar and strange, light gently sweeping across the walls, objects presenting a serene presence.His work is characterized by the most subtle gradations of soft color. The almost imperceptible variations within recurring themes sharpen the viewer's perception, making perception itself the subject of the work.Through interaction with the international art movements of his time, Hammershøi developed a unique visual language. His similarities to James McNeill Whistler are evident in his minimalist approach and focus on formal elements. At the same time, his work exhibits a surprising modernity, comparable to artists such as Giorgio Morandi. His focus on music further expands the dimensions of his art: instruments such as the cello or piano appear in his paintings, creating a tense stillness—like the moment before the first note. In addition to his signature interior paintings, this exhibition also features his portraits, cityscapes, and landscapes, placing his work within a broader art historical context.

Exhibitions

Throughout their lives, people remember events and people that are important to them. The exhibition begins with very personal memories - recorded in poetry and photo albums or baptismal certificates. A wall-filling type case filled with souvenirs also shows that memories are often linked to things. Over 400 exhibits from the museum collection bear witness to this. They contain personal information such as births, weddings or deaths. But they also remind us of social events, wars, catastrophes, the opening of borders or independence days. Memory aids The exhibition shows how these moments are remembered - or how they are kept secret or forgotten. There are a wide variety of practices and forms involved. The similarities are also revealed. For example, memory aids to prevent forgetting are widespread all over the world. The Incas in Peru tied knots in strings to record dates and stories. And in Switzerland, people recorded on notched sticks who was allowed to use water and when. For thousands of years, great epics and holy scriptures have guaranteed that experiences and history are not forgotten. The Bible, Torah, Koran, healing scrolls from Ethiopia and healing books of the Batak from Indonesia are impressive testimonies to this. These writings were written by scholars. In the 1980s, social organizations, artists and politicians recorded events on fabrics, paintings and posters: decolonization, the end of apartheid in South Africa or grievances, violence and oppression in Latin American dictatorships. In remembrance The exhibition ends with the remembrance of the dead. In Europe, hair images, stone monuments and grave crosses commemorate the deceased. In Mexico, the dead are happily celebrated on the "Día de los Muertos". Funny skeleton ensembles dance on an exhibition podium. In Peru, however, the Matsiguenga ethnic group creates wooden guardian figures to protect against the dead.
