Agnès Wyler studied Philosophy at Lausanne University and Art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. She is working in series. She constantly is questioning the world and the reality, making of her practice a never ending instrument for critical thinking. She lives and works in Zurich, and her work has been showed since 1988 internationally and nationally in various galleries and institutions, like Haus Konstruktiv, Museum Rietberg, Kunsthalle Zürich or Helmhaus in Zurich. She taught at the F+F art school in Zurich, at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem and in other institutions abroad. In 2003 she was a finalist for the « Prix Fondation Edouard & Maurice Sandoz (FEMS) » and in 2017 she was a finalist in the competition of the Swiss Art Awards. In 2018, 2021 and 2022, her work was awarded the Stipendium of the City of Zurich. Her art work is represented in numerous prestigious collections and was featured in several publications.
