Fotostiftung Schweiz

The Fotostiftung Schweiz (Schweizerische Stiftung für die Photographie), founded in 1971, is dedicated to the preservation, acquisition and presentation of photographic works. It administrates an archive and a collection which together contain over 25 photographic estates and around 30,000 original prints of work by outstanding photographers. The Fotostiftung organises exhibitions, issues publications on the history of Swiss photography and supports present- day photography in Switzerland by purchasing contemporary work. The collection of the Fotostiftung is supplemented by long- term loans from the Swiss Confederation and the internationally orientated collection of the Friends of the Fotostiftung Schweiz. The Fotostiftung also administrates a library of literature on photography.
