Founded in 2015 and housed in the St Moritz space formerly occupied by legendary gallerist Bruno Bischofberger, the Vito Schnabel Gallery has quickly built a reputation as one of the world’s go-to spaces for cutting-edge contemporary art. Following exhibitions and public installations by Urs Fischer and Sterling Ruby, its latest show (until Saturday September 2) focuses on the work of US-born Walter Robinson, featuring a series of bedsheets painted with the covers of paperback romance novels (a recurring theme for the artist), as well as several of his Romance paintings from 1986.
