About
Galerie Gleis4
An independent Swiss gallery for contemporary art. Founded in 2024 by Melanie and Konrad Breznik. Permanently based in Zug, Artherstrasse 3 – and exhibiting where people are on the move.
Position
Art, encounter, market
Gleis4 connects art, architecture, design and cultural encounters. The gallery works curatorially and for the long term, with a focus on the primary market and on building artists' careers. It is gallery, salon, cultural platform and market partner at the same time.
The name Gleis4 stands for departure and movement. The gallery currently represents thirteen artists from Switzerland, Austria, Italy, England, Denmark, Japan and Russia.
The permanent anchor is Zug. Beyond it, Galerie Gleis4 realises experimental exhibitions at changing locations across Switzerland – in railway stations, industrial halls and interim spaces. These formats are temporary and project-related; they are not further gallery branches.

Konrad F. Breznik
Co-founder
«What interests me most is where the value of a work will stand in ten years.»
Former COO at Hauser & Wirth. He knows the international art market and has deliberately chosen to do it differently.
