Since 1897, thousands of works have converged on the Jenisch Vevey Museum, which today brings together no less than 53,000 pieces. From November 8, 2024 to February 23, 2025, the exhibition “Where I Come From” questions this heritage.
Crossing the centuries from the Renaissance to the most recent creation, paintings, drawings and engravings pass from hand to hand, adorned with inscriptions and traces. They sometimes go so far as to extend their existence in a permanent place: a museum.
The exhibition “Where I Come From” looks at the origin of the Jenisch Museum’s funds. She immerses herself in the collections that have forged the museum’s identity, examining from the angle of their provenance around fifty emblematic works by Courbet, Dürer, Dix, Giacometti, Hodler, Ingres, Kokoschka, Picasso and Vallotton.
The journey of works of art and their context of acquisition are at the center of the discussion. Some pieces reveal all or part of their wanderings, while others remain more silent.
Contemporary art
Three other exhibitions are planned this fall, also focused on origins. “Offering your art to the museum” pays tribute to three important recent donations from artists: those of Gaspard Delachaux, Andrea Gabutti and Charles de Montaigu, who participated in the enrichment of the collections.
The Jenisch Museum is also exhibiting the winners of the 2023 and 2024 Bailly Scholarships. Lausanne-based artist Anjesa Dellova, who has developed her own pictorial technique of frottage, is offering a series of works continuing her exploration of “lamentations”.
Vaudoise Annaëlle Clot presents “Germinations Ruminations”, her drawn journal published in June 2024. It offers a collection of pen and ink drawings of plants traced with finesse, attention and concern. Finally, the museum presents two large drawings by Noémie Doge, thanks to the Jacqueline Oyex distinction intended to promote artists who have distinguished themselves through their commitment and expressive intensity.
