Bildhalle

Bildhalle is a gallery dedicated to classic and contemporary photography and photo-based art located in Zurich and Amsterdam. The gallery represents a highly curated selection of artists from around the world, with a particular focus on photography of the second half of the 20th century and contemporary artistic positions of the 21st century. In addition to showcasing internationally established artists, Bildhalle's ambitious program also provides space for innovative young and upcoming artists who are pushing the boundaries of the medium of photography by creating a crossover to other visual art forms and are thereby bringing new perspectives to the discourse. Founded in 2013 by Mirjam Cavegn in Zurich, Bildhalle has rapidly become one of the most respected galleries for photography in Switzerland and throughout Europe and has further consolidated its strong position in the European market with the opening of a gallery space in the Old City Center of Amsterdam in 2020. The gallery holds up to 12 solo and group shows a year and regularly participates in international art fairs such as Paris Photo, Photo London, Art Paris, Art Rotterdam, Aipad New York, Art Miami and Photo Basel. Bildhalle has placed work in numerous important private and public collections, maintains long-standing partnerships with estates and partner galleries and is a member of the Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD). The gallery offers art consulting for private individuals and institutions and works with internationally renowned curators and authors. Another cornerstone of the gallery is the publishing house "Edition Bildhalle", which conceives and produces high-quality photo books inspired by the ideas and works of the gallery's artists in collaboration with authors, art historians and journalists. The books are available internationally in museum shops, independent bookstores, online and in the gallery's own venues.
