"50 Years of Abegg Huus" celebrates five decades of community, care, and cultural presence at the Abegg Foundation in Rüschlikon. For this anniversary, artist Christina Haupt was invited to create a new body of work specifically for the exhibition.

​

Her paintings depict the people who live and work at the Abegg Huus, as well as individuals connected to the foundation. The series features expressive close-ups based on collage fragments, highlighting the layers of identity, memory, and human presence.

 

Through these portraits, Haupt provides a thoughtful reflection on belonging and the everyday relationships that shape this space. The exhibition opened with a commemorative publication and a festive summer gathering that included music, talks, and local engagement—honoring not only the institution’s history but also the people at its core.
