THE MIRABAUD
CONTEMPORARY
ART COLLECTION
Beyond its wealth and asset management activities, Mirabaud has always been passionately committed to supporting extraordinary sport or cultural events. Acclaimed for its involvement in the field of classical music, Mirabaud has offered prestigious concerts in some of the most beautiful concert halls in the world.
With the same concern for modernity, Mirabaud has decided to renew its commitment to culture by constituting a contemporary art collection. Art is not new to Mirabaud, which notably owns the finest collection of works by Pierre-Louis de La Rive, a Geneva artist from the 18th century.
By becoming associated with the diffusion of contemporary art, Mirabaud establishes a link between tradition and modernity, between past, present and future. A position perfectly tuned to Mirabaud’s capacity for innovation. It is on the basis of the strength of acquired heritage that it can project itself in the future with such passion.
Contemporary art is the reflection of our time; it witnesses the richness of our era and the thirst for creation to which we must respond. By offering a window to renowned artists and younger talents throughout its offices in Switzerland and abroad, Mirabaud offers to its visitors the possibility to engage with a new multifaceted artistic reality. In the form of paintings, photographs or sculptures, the Mirabaud Collection bears the signature of a modern institution, engaged in its time and capable of transforming an ambition into a reality.
The talent of mankind is nothing without the gaze of the beholder; let's appreciate these artworks with the fresh eye of our contemporary truth.
