The lifelong friendship and extended written correspondence between Swiss artist Max Bill and Belgian-born artist Georges Vantongerloo united their artistic and intellectual endeavors, and helped to push the boundaries of their work into new aesthetic realms. The exhibition is on display at Hauser & Wirth New York, 69th St. from January 27 to March 26, 2022.

Hi, I’m Tiphaine Aeby from Geneva and my internship in the Culture and Education section is unfortunately coming to an end. When I first arrived in New York, I was excited about the city’s diverse food culture. As a true foodie, I checked out as many restaurants as I could. Despite the countless options, I did miss one food product from Switzerland, the Cenovis. This iconic Swiss spread is listed as a traditional food by Swiss Culinary Heritage. The Swiss generally have strong feelings about Cenovis, you either love it or hate it. Personally, I like it so much that I even asked my mother to send me a tube to New York directly from home. Try it on a piece of bread with butter for a real Swiss experience!
