Foundation of the Center for Artistic Legacies
The Center for Artistic Legacies (ZKN) is an institution in Zurich dedicated to the academic study of estates in the fields of art, music and literature.
The ZKN was founded by the lawyer Florian Schmidt-Gabain and the literary scholar Thomas Strässle, who lead the ZKN as President and Vice President, and are supported by an Advisory Board consisting of Lionel V. Baldenweg, Michael Haefliger, Beatrix Ruf and Julia Voss. The ZKN is organized as an association based in Zurich, Switzerland.
On November 21, 2019, the opening conference of the ZKN will take place at the Kunsthaus Zürich. Topics include the estates of Hilma af Klint, Emil Bührle and Max Frisch. The estate of Charlie Chaplin, who composed his own film music - something that is often little known - will also be presented. Kate Guyonvarch, the director of the Chaplin Office Paris, will give a talk on the subject.
