Franziska Furter

Franziska Furter (*1972 in Zurich, lives in Basel and Berlin) started her career as a draftswoman. The genre of drawing is still close to her but complemented over the years by sculptural work and installations. In her shows she develops constantly new groups of works. She always works meticulously: Like a researcher she experiments and expands her image making and invents objects. In her works she remains always tangible as an acting person. Art is for her the process of making, a credo she shares with Marcel Duchamp. Franziska Furter often creates in her exhibition installations, captivating the viewer through their precise disposition of different groups of works in manifold material. All works broach the issues of perception of time and play with the criteria of planning, concept and coincidence. Her exhibitions reveal an œuvre constantly growing with unexcited consistency, with humour and precision. Within a clearly defined system Franziska Furter creates works of great forcefulness and poetry, offering in her shows to the viewer a variety of associations and emotions.

Franziska Furter’s work has been shown in many solo and group exhibitions in Europe. Her works are in the following public collections Kupferstichkabinett, Kunstmuseum Basel; Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau; Museum of Modern Art, New York and in many private and corporate collections amongst others Zurich Cantonal Bank; Collection of the Deutsche Bank, Zurich and Frankfurt a/M; Credit Suisse Collection; Bank Bär Collection; Roche Collection, Basel; Helvetia Collection and many others.
