ART IN THE CENTER
Artrust is an art gallery that deviates from the classical definitions and the subdivisions of the art market.
At the center of its project, where the cultural and commercial aspects go hand in hand, there is art in all its forms.
FROM 20TH CENTURY TO STREET ART

It comprises a wide and varied selection of modern and contemporary works, alongside the masterpieces of some great names of the twentieth century – including Werefkin, Legér, Degas, Segantini, Giacometti, Tinguely, Picasso, Mirò – coexist the works of artists of the massive movement, which today goes by the name of Street Art.
BY THE ARTISTS’ SIDE
Artrust is by the artists’ side in its territory for the promotion of their artistic activities in different areas and locations. It also collaborates with established foreign artists, supporting their presence in Switzerland.
