Gallery

König Büro is a gallery for contemporary art in Zurich, founded in 2020 by the art mediator and consultant Susanne König. Solo exhibitions of young Swiss artists are shown in the space, which is a former ironing and laundry shop in the Wiedikon district of Zurich.

The gallery cooperates closely with the artists, supports them during the creation process and helps them to gain public attention. Through the mediation and sale of artworks, positions are strengthened and careers are built.

The range of media extends from painting, drawing, photography to sculpture and audio-visual installations. The individuality and authenticity of a work is the main focus, as well as the way it captures and understands the zeitgeist. Particular emphasis is placed on feminist positions. Interest is also expressed for formal aesthetic creativity, which convinces through intensity and technical innovative strength.

Exhibition Management and Art Consulting

Since 2013, König Büro has managed, planned and realised art productions for clients. It has curated and organised exhibitions and facilitates access to contemporary art for third parties. König Büro sells artworks and provides advice to individuals and companies on the purchase and display of art. It manages the collections of small and medium-sized companies.
