Christoph Büchel - Sex scandal by Swiss artist threatens art funding

Swiss artist Christoph Büchel pushes hyper-realism to an unexpected extreme by inviting a real life sex club to become an integral part of his exhibition at the Secession gallery in Vienna, home to Gustav Klimt’s Beethoven Frieze that sparked a sex scandal in its own time. Büchel’s provocation sends shock waves through political bodies responsible for the public funding of art, including in Switzerland.
