Archivea is based in a charming town in northern Switzerland named Zug, just 30 km from Zurich and about 100km from Basel the contemporary art center of Europe.

While Archivea is a newly established firm our founder’s family have been in the business of art for over 100 years. In the past our collections have included the world beloved German artist M.I. Hummel. Our recent acquisition of the works of American artist Flavia Weedn symbolizes our return to the art industry.

Our founder and owner Mr. Jacques Nauer is a successful Swiss entrepreneur in art, science and technology based industries. At Archivea he combines his extensive traditional knowledge of licensing and art management with today’s digital technologies.

We are always looking for classic brands which have image based archives to acquire. Currently we are soliciting black and white mid-century photographic collections. For more information or if you know of an archive for sale please contact:
