The «Virtual Showcases» offer a glimpse of the extensive collection of artists’ fonds held in the Swiss Art Archives.A selection of photos, letters and diary entries convey an impression of the documents preserved by SIK-ISEA.
The private archive of André Kamber (1932–2021) was donated to SIK-ISEA in 2021. This fonds contains a great abundance of material from numerous Swiss artists. Kamber’s posthumous papers consist primarily of correspondence with these artists, including well-known iron sculptors, Fluxus associates, plastic artists and adherents of Nouveau Réalisme. Kamber was variously involved in the activities of the Swiss art community from the 1960s onwards, as his archive testifies.
