Galerie Andres Thalmann Zurich, Switzerland, was founded in August 2009 by Carina Andres Thalmann. With extensive experience in leading international galleries based in Zurich, Andres Thalmann presented the debut of Galerie Andres Thalmann with a solo exhibition by the world reknowned Catalan artist Joan Hernández Pijuan. Being a Swiss gallery, there is an important focus on the presentation of emerging and well-established Swiss artists. As well as this, Galerie Andres Thalmann continues to present international leading and emerging contemporary artists from all disciplines.
What is your ideal type of collector? High level institutional and private collectors that follow established art of the highest quality.
What, on the contrary, is the sort of collector you try to avoid at all cost? Collectors that are not real collectors, collectors that have no passion for the essence of art.
Who is the collector from whom you have learnt the most, and why? Laurence Rubin from New York, he taught me how to look at artworks and how to select them. He has an incredible eye, each time he has chosen an artwork it was later a masterpiece of its period.
What, if any, is the mistake you would never make again? Have worked with artists that have no loyalty and integrity.
What, if any, is the best deal you have ever made? Buying a Basquiat oil painting while it was still reasonably priced.
