Van Leeuwen Art is honored to contribute Christoph Pauschenwein’s Oscillating Planet #173 to the Swiss Gala 2026 Silent Auction, continuing our annual tradition of highlighting a distinguished Swiss artist from our portfolio.
The Swiss Gala in Context
Organized by the Swiss Society of New York, the Swiss Gala is one of the organization’s flagship cultural events. Founded in 1882, the Swiss Society serves as a longstanding connector of the Swiss‑American community, fostering exchange around Swiss heritage, culture, arts, science, education, and business. The Gala itself is an evening of fine dining, entertainment, dancing, and a silent auction, held under the patronage of the Consul General of Switzerland in New York. It brings together Swiss citizens, friends of Switzerland, and the broader New York cultural community to celebrate Swiss creativity and its international resonance.
