➳ NICOLA VON SENGER<br />
FOUNDER, GALERIE NICOLA VON SENGER<br />
“I started my gallery 22 years ago.<br />
I’m originally from Zürich and I was<br />
fascinated by a gallery owner called Bruno<br />
Bischofberger, who showed work from<br />
people such as Andy Warhol. He impressed<br />
me so much that I decided to go to London<br />
to study at Sotheby’s.<br />
“We’ve moved around. For a long time<br />
we were in the nice part of Zürich, but we<br />
thought it was important to be where all<br />
the other exhibitions are – to be part of the<br />
synergy. It’s good for visitors to come and<br />
see two or three museums and galleries in<br />
one place. Here in Zürich we have more<br />
galleries per person than any other city<br />
in the world. That means there is strong<br />
competition between us, which helps keep<br />
the quality high.”<br />
“IN ZURICH<br />
WE HAVE MORE<br />
GALLERIES<br />
PER PERSON<br />
THAN ANY<br />
OTHER CITY<br />
IN THE<br />
WORLD”<br />
➳ AFTER THE ART... “One of my favourite<br />
places is a church called Grossmünster<br />
(Zwingliplatz), which has two towers you<br />
can climb up for a fantastic view of our<br />
cute city. The lake is also worth visiting.<br />
There is a place called Utoquai down by the<br />
lake, where Helmut Newton did a lot of his<br />
work. You feel like you’ve walked into one of<br />
his photographs.”<br />
