Swiss dealer Bruno Bischofberger announced early last year that he would be giving up his second gallery in the luxury alpine town of St. Moritz to focus on completing his new art complex in Zurich, which occupies the site of a former car factory in the southeast of the city and was designed by his daughter Nina Baier-Bischofberger and her husband, Florian Baier. In vacating the space, the gallerist—who made his name as a champion of American artists in Europe during the 1960s, when he opened his first gallery with a Pop exhibition featuring the likes of Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg, and Roy Lichtenstein—paved the way for a younger dealer to take the reins. Vito Schnabel, son of the esteemed painter and filmmaker Julian Schnabel, whose work Bischofberger first showed in the 1980s, has taken over the space. It is the first permanent, public exhibition venue for the 29-year old, who has been curating exhibitions independently in both renowned and less formal environments since his teens. The Vito Schnabel Gallery launched December 29 with an exhibition of work by Urs Fischer. Schnabel spoke with Juliet Helmke about the new undertaking.
