Showcase Pamela Rosenkranz

25 February – June 2026

Exhibition at Boutique & Art Hotel Helvetia, Stauffacherquai 1-3, Zurich

Pamela Rosenkranz (born 1979 in Uri, Switzerland; lives and works in Zurich) works across painting and sculpture, as well as installation, sound, and light. She explores how the human body perceives the world and how nature, technology, and culture shape that experience.

Known for iconic works such as Old Tree, a large-scale sculpture installed on the High Line in New York, Rosenkranz creates artworks that are immediately engaging while unfolding deeper layers over time. Another central work is Healer, a robotic snake with a reflective surface that draws on ancient symbols of healing and danger. This exploration continues in the Healer Scrolls, kirigami-cut and hand-painted membranes inspired by snake skin, which are on view at Hotel Helvetia.

Rosenkranz has created public installations such as the light work at Fraumünster Zurich and has had solo exhibitions at world-leading institutions including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Kunsthalle Basel, and Kunsthaus Bregenz. Her works are held in major collections, such as MoMA New York, Centre Georges-Pompidou, and Kunstmuseum Basel, and are known for their rare combination of beauty, immediacy, and conceptual depth.
