2. Carzinga | Carzaniga, Gemsberg 8, Basel, Switzerland, +41 61 264 30 30

Reflecting Switzerland’s geographical position as a bridge between Germany and Italy, Basel’s gallery Carzaniga exhibits contemporary works of art by German, Italian and Swiss artists (Bruno Suter, Serge Brignoni and Julius Bissier, among others), and publishes insightful catalogues and monographs of the exhibited artists. Carzaniga is best known for its exhibitions of works that were created during the brief but influential period of the Gruppe Rot-Blau and Gruppe 33. The two groups, which operated in the 1920s, numbered Expressionist painters who painted their scenes in an unnatural style, but one that mirrored the atrocities of the First World War and the actions of the fascist governments that emerged in the years following the war.
