Furkapasshöhe, Switzerland: Furkart, 1991. 10,5x15,8 cm.

Set of artist's postcards documenting Holzer's project at Furkart.

Uncommon. Fine.

"The Hotel Furkablick, which from 1983 to 1999 was the site of Furk’art—an ongoing project established by Swiss gallerist Marc Hostettler in which some sixty artists participated at his invitation (...). Located high in the Furka pass of the Swiss Alps, the nineteenth-century hotel hosted works variously ephemeral and lasting by artists including Marina Abramović and Ulay, Daniel Buren, James Lee Byars, Gretchen Faust, Günther Förg, Richard Long, Olivier Mosset, Steven Parrino, Roman Signer, and Lawrence Wiener. Among the works that can still be seen in and around the hotel are striped shutters by Buren, which adorn the building’s face, and a selection of “Truisms” by Jenny Holzer, which have been incised into rocks a short distance away. Two of the works, next to the pass road, are considered local landmarks: These are a granite-block fire pit by Max Bill and a brick chimney by Per Kirkeby. The hotel’s restaurant and steel-clad entrance were designed by Rem Koolhaas in the 1990s and remain OMA’s only work in Switzerland." ['Historic Home Of Furk’art Goes Up For Sale', Artforum, 2024].
