In order to bundle our know-how – with together more than 60 years of experience – and many new ideas for the future, we founded Galerie WOS in the summer of 2019. It is a merger of the two galleries Barr & Ochsner and Galerie Wahrenberger.

 

Daniel Wahrenberger founded Galerie Wahrenberger in Zurich in 1994. In his gallery, he presented works of contemporary art. Claudius Ochsner and Thomas Schafflützel managed the gallery Barr & Ochsner GmbH, which was founded in Zurich and New York in 1997. The gallery specialized in works of classical modern and contemporary art.

The focus of Galerie WOS is the connection between the 20th and 21st centuries: to show paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and photographs, not as individual objects, but as the result of an art-historical development. Together, we have more than 60 years of professional experience in the international art market with a focus on European 20th Century, American Post-War, and Contemporary Art.

Since July 2020 we are in a charming location – with a romantic garden – in the heart of the old town at Kirchgasse 28, between the Grossmünster and the Kunsthaus Zürich. We will keep you up to date about upcoming exhibitions and fairs by newsletter & here on our homepage.

Since 2022, our Office & Showroom has been located in the Seedamm-Center office building in Pfäffikon SZ. You can find more information on the Showroom page.
