'Feast of Color': the Merzbacher-Mayer Collection at the Zurich Kunsthaus expresses a personal and passionate relationship with colour in some 200 paintings and sculptures that span more than a century of art history.(ART & CULTURE)

Swiss News | April 1, 2006 | Copyright

Viewing a private collection is quite a different experience from a museum collection. The selection is assembled for the pleasure of the collector and, rather than serving the cultural standing of an institution or curator, it can disregard whole chunks of art history and follow a unique path.

Works in the Merzbacher-Mayer Collection Feast of Color represent a range of styles: Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Pointillism, Futurism, Constructivism, Cubism and Concrete art.

The common thread that unites the works is colour--pure, dazzling colour.
