Lullin + Ferrari

Lullin + Ferrari is a contemporary art gallery in Zurich's Zürich-West district, at Limmatstrasse 214 (8005). Corrado Ferrari and Etienne Lullin opened it in 2008. The programme leans toward conceptual art and pairs established names with artists early in their careers. It makes an easy stop on a gallery walk through the city, especially near the former Löwenbräu complex.

What is Lullin + Ferrari?

The project began in January 2008 with a print show called "Dedicated". The first solo exhibition presented work by the English sculptor Bill Woodrow. Over the years the gallery has staged more than a hundred shows, and it marks "Surprise, Surprise!" as its 100th.

Two strands run through the programme: long-term work with artists who already have a firm reputation, and support for those just starting out. What ties them together is idea-driven work where thinking meets formal discipline. The gallery keeps close ties with collectors, museum curators and fellow dealers, so exhibitions often feature names familiar on the European scene.

Which artists will you see?

The roster includes Michael Bauch, Benedikte Bjerre, Anne-Lise Coste, Klodin Erb, Franziska Furter, Pierre Haubensak, Clare Goodwin, Mamiko Otsubo and the duo wiedemann/mettler, among others. The range covers painting and drawing as well as sculpture and installation. Since the expansion, the space can host up to three solo shows at once.

What is the space like?

The gallery grew in 2020–2021 and now covers about 180 m². That allows larger works and several exhibitions side by side. Shows are accompanied by guided tours, artist talks and lectures, so check the event calendar before you go.

When can you visit?

Opening hours are Tuesday to Friday from 12:00 to 18:00 and Saturday from 11:00 to 17:00. The gallery is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Entry to exhibitions is normally free, as at most commercial galleries. Good times to come are exhibition openings and Zurich's art weekends, when many galleries in the area extend their programmes. For current shows, such as Anne Morgenstern's "Sunset Sour" (September to October 2026), confirm details on lullinferrari.com.

How do you get there?

Limmatstrasse lies in the Zürich-West area, a walk of roughly fifteen minutes from Zürich main station and close to Löwenbräu. Other galleries and cultural venues are nearby, so the visit fits neatly into an afternoon in this part of town. The gallery's phone number is +41 43 205 26 07.
