Galerie Lilian Andrée, Basel

Lilian Andrée Gallery is a celebrated contemporary art gallery specializing in modern sculpture and painting. With roots dating back to its founding in Basel in 1983, the gallery took a four-year hiatus before reopening in 2001 near the Fondation Beyeler. This proximity situates it within Basel’s thriving art scene, further emphasizing its dedication to modern and contemporary art.

The gallery is renowned for showcasing works crafted from a wide array of materials, including wood, paper, metal, leather, glass, and stone, reflecting its commitment to creative diversity. Notable exhibitions have featured renowned artists such as Henry Moore, Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, and Sam Francis, alongside emerging talents. The gallery collaborates primarily with artists from Switzerland, France, and Germany, but its exhibitions also include creators from across Europe, North America, and beyond.

The current exhibition highlights the work of Basel-born artist Lorenz Grieder. Known for his masterful watercolors and detailed drawings, Grieder captures the essence of mountain landscapes and urban scenes with remarkable precision and subtlety. His works evoke a sensory experience of nature’s moods-wind, fog, or sunlight-rendered with a touch that surprises in its photographic-like detail.

Lilian Andrée Gallery serves not only as an exhibition space but also as a bridge connecting art with everyday life. It develops art concepts for institutions such as hotels, clinics, banks, and law firms, integrating artistic joy into diverse settings. While its exhibitions attract collectors and enthusiasts, the gallery explicitly requests that unsolicited artist portfolios not be sent, as these will not be returned.

With decades of experience and a legacy of presenting extraordinary art, Lilian Andrée Gallery remains a vital hub for modern artistic expression in Switzerland.
