ARTCURIAL BEURRET BAILLY WIDMER
A Conversation with Yves Dana
Wednesday, September 17, 2025
Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer, Geneva
During Geneva Art Week, Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer warmly invites you to its Geneva space for an exclusive encounter with the Swiss sculptor Yves Dana.
The artist will engage in a dialogue with Nadja Scribante Amstutz, Director for French-speaking Switzerland at Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer, exploring his artistic journey, creative approach, and body of work. This event also offers the public a unique opportunity to interact directly with a contemporary artist.
Yves Dana (b. 1959, lives and works primarily in Lausanne) has devoted himself entirely to sculpture since 1984. Working with iron, stone, and bronze, his practice explores multiple artistic avenues. A formative stay in Egypt in 1996 inspired a return to simple, hieratic forms, giving rise to his Stèles series. From 1998 onwards, he began sculpting stone, marking a new chapter in his oeuvre. Dana’s pieces, both timeless and meditative, evoke a desert-like archaeology while celebrating the essence of life.

About Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer
The merger of Artcurial and Beurret Bailly Widmer
With three historic locations in Basel, St. Gallen, and Zurich, Auktionen was born from a shared vision among professionals who value client relationships and uphold the highest ethical standards. Nicolas Beurret, Emmanuel Bailly, and Markus Schöb have swiftly established one of Switzerland’s leading auction houses, renowned for its commitment to client service and discretion.
Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer maintains strong connections throughout Switzerland and is one of the few houses to host key events across multiple historic venues in city centers. The opening of a fourth space in Geneva in 2025 further enhances the house’s visibility in French-speaking Switzerland and strengthens ties with its Francophone clientele.
The partnership with Artcurial significantly expands the Swiss house’s network and visibility, while extending its expertise to new fields such as collectible watches, with its first dedicated sale held in 2024.
