Fondation Wölfli

Fondation Wölfli is an art institution dedicated to the work of Adolf Wölfli, a Swiss artist and composer who created complex, imaginative drawings and compositions while institutionalized in the early 20th century. The foundation preserves, studies, and promotes his art, highlighting its importance within outsider art—a category for creative expressions outside mainstream culture. Through exhibitions, research, and educational programs, Fondation Wölfli aims to deepen understanding of Wölfli’s unique vision and the broader significance of outsider art in challenging traditional notions of artistic production.
