Art Vontobel
Since its establishment, our Collection explores how artists today seek new ways of capturing and conveying the human experience in a rapidly changing world though photographic and image-based art. Internationally oriented and, moreover, primarily dedicated to identifying and nurturing young and emerging talent, Art Vontobel mirrors the company as a globally active investment firm with a forward-looking approach.
Our commitment to art is an expression of our social responsibility overall. The decision to focus the Collection on one medium alone allows for a view of the present that is at once dynamic and resolute, a blend we believe offers a unique platform for new perspectives and dialogue. While photography forms the basis, many of our artists’ work expand on the medium. This is only natural in the rapidly changing context of visual media in the 21st century—in particular the use of the photographic image—and helps create a nuanced understanding of the many modes of artistic expressions today.
We invite you to explore our Collection and the various facets and questions shaping it: Discover how, on the one hand, both firmly established but mainly up-and-coming artists engage with the social, cultural, or political realities of the moment in which we live. And, on the other, the diverse—and most current—ways in which artists use photography, be it sculpturally, AI generated or as an NFT, to address the many complex narratives that define our era.
