The EG Bührle Foundation maintains a major ensemble of impressionism and post-impressionism today presented at the Kunsthaus Zürich.
Between 1936 and 1956, Emil Bührle built up a vast collection ranging from medieval sculpture to modern art, with a center of gravity around French impressionism. His heirs created the EG Bührle Foundation in 1960 and he transfer a representative part of the whole. Since 2021, the works have been deposited long-term at the Kunsthaus Zürich. The collection includes Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Van Gogh and Degas, but its history also requires research attentive to the origins and economic conditions of his training. The museum and the Foundation continue this critical work alongside the artistic presentation. The "EG Bührle Foundation" selection notably highlights look Portrait of Irène Cahen from Antwerp - Renoir and The Boy in the Red Vest - Paul Cézanne. His reading favors drawing.
The Bührle collection imposes a double perspective: admiring the invention of Monet, Renoir, Cézanne or Van Gogh while examining with precision the history of possession of the works.
