Volkart Foundation collection Archive and Collections
Every year, the Volkart Foundation purchases a group of works that is closely linked to an exhibition at COALMINE (Winterthur). Building up this collection adds a lastingness to both the programme of this exhibition venue, which has become an important platform for many young photographers, and the Volkart Foundation’s involvement. The collection is on permanent loan to Fotostiftung Schweiz, which participates in the selection of the works to be purchased and, with its infrastructure and expertise, ensures proper handling, preservation and mediation.
