Wassily Wool Blankets by
“Wassily” is inspired by the enchanting painting by Wassily Kandinsky’s (1866-1944) “Murnau - Garten II” (1910) Gabriele and Werner Merzbacher Collection, on permanent load at the Kunsthaus Zurich.
Inspired by the peace and perseverance Kandinsky found again in Murnau, a small town in the foothills of the Alps wherein he, alongside his partner and critic Gabriele Münter, found the inspiration that fueled the decisive years of his artistic breakthrough. One of the pioneers of abstract modern art, Wassily Kandinsky exploited the evocative interrelation between color and form to create an aesthetic experience that engaged the sight, sound, and emotions of the public.
The new collaboration between Kunsthaus Zurich and ZigZagZurich is a tribute to the influence Kunsthaus Zürich has had on the art scene in Switzerland and around the world. From its humble beginnings in 1787, when a group of artists and art lovers met for friendly discussions and mutual encouragement, Kunsthaus Zürich has gained international recognition since the early 20th century thanks to a combination of permanent exhibitions and a significant art collection. These stunning wool blankets are inspired by three renowned paintings by Wassilly Kandinsky, Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Alexej von Jawlensky found in the Kunsthaus collection and the Gabriele and Werner Merzbacher collection.
The limited edition blankets will be displayed and available for purchase at the Kunsthaus Zürich Museum and the ZigZagZurich Showroom.
