Innovative and Inspiring: Helvetia's Commitment to Swiss Art

Helvetia sees art as part of its corporate culture. As well as collecting Swiss art and promoting young artists by awarding its own art prize, the Basel-based company also has a public exhibition room.

Helvetia Art Foyer

The Helvetia Art Foyer, a publicly accessible exhibition space at the Basel headquarters, displays artworks from the collection in monographic, dialogic and thematic exhibitions. Selected artists are also invited to present solo exhibitions.

Upcoming Exhibition
Twilight Zones – Kippmomente des Vertrauten

The exhibition at the Helvetia Art Foyer explores those in-between spaces where the familiar becomes uncanny: where absence becomes palpable, the ordinary casts a shadow, and everyday life suddenly appears strange.

Featuring works by Dimitra Charamandas, collectif_fact, Daniel Karrer, Tracey Moffatt, Candida Höfer, Thomas Ruff, Uwe Wittwer, and other artists.

Duration of exhibition: 29 October 2026 – 25 February 2027
Opening hours: Every Thursday from 4 to 8 pm – St.Alban-Anlage 26, Basel

Free admission
