The Syz Collection

The Syz Collection is a comprehensive publication showcasing the extensive art collection of Eric and Suzanne Syz. Spanning over 300 works by more than 100 Swiss and international artists from diverse generations, this collection reflects the couple's inspired approach to collecting contemporary art. From their initial focus on paintings by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel, Francesco Clemente, George Condo, and Andy Warhol, the Syzs have continued to expand their collection, incorporating works by renowned artists such as Fischli/Weiss, Wade Guyton, Cindy Sherman, Sturtevant, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Rosemarie Trockel. The collection also features contributions from younger generations of artists, including Valentin Carron, Roe Ethridge, Yngve Holen, and Elad Lassry. This publication offers an in-depth documentation of the Syz Collection, with essays on its principles and the relationship between contemporary art and corporate culture. Edited by Nicolas Trembley, it provides a unique insight into the collection's display at the Syz Group Headquarters and features contributions from curator and art critic Nicolas Trembley, as well as Emmanuel Grandjean, Head of Cultural Service at Le Temps.
