This weekend I went the Cartoonmuseum in Basel where I  visited an exhibition dedicated to Gerhard Glück, a German satirist cartoonist who notably collaborated with the magazine NZZ in Zurich. His work, precise and ironic, depicts the absurdities of everyday life through a subtle play between text and image. But above all I was amazed by the place which truly honors comic strips and press drawings. It is also the oldest Swiss museum dedicated to comics, founded in 1979 by Dieter Burckhardt. His ambition was then to make his private collection of comic books, comic strips, caricatures and humorous drawings accessible to the general public, thus creating the foundation Collection of caricatures & cartoons.

Power games is the first Swiss retrospective dedicated to Paula Rego. Although she is one of the most acclaimed figurative artists in recent decades, the British-Portuguese artist remains largely unfamiliar to the Swiss public.
