The story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jean Planque was a self-taught painter and collector from Ferreyres, in the canton of Vaud. He worked for the Beyeler gallery from 1954 to 1972. There he met many artists who were still little known in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His collection includes more than 300 works. Among them are C\u00e9zanne, Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Bonnard, Klee, Braque, de Sta\u00ebl, T\u00e0pies and Dubuffet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 12 September 2025, the City of Vevey and the State of Vaud announced the return of the collection to the canton. The Jean and Suzanne Planque Foundation signed an agreement with Vevey to deposit it at the Mus\u00e9e Jenisch. Jean Planque had visited the museum in 1995 and admired its spaces and light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mus\u00e9e Jenisch Vevey organises the exhibition. The curators are Florian Rodari, president of the Jean and Suzanne Planque Foundation, and Ma\u00eflis Favre, curator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
