Discover Philippe Cramer's sculptures in the gardens of Château Saint-Martin & Spa.
EXHIBITION BY PHILIPPE CRAMER
Presented at Château Saint-Martin & Spa*****
From 5 May to 12 October 2025
This season, Château Saint-Martin & Spa is hosting an exclusive exhibition of artworks by contemporary artist Philippe Cramer. This emblematic Oetker Collection property is featuring three of his creations in its gardens.
Born in 1970 in the United States, Philippe Cramer grew up in Switzerland. He comes from a line of artists that includes his uncle Gérald Cramer, who collaborated with renowned artists such as Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse, and his grandmother Adrienne Cramer, who was close to Jean Tinguely, Niki de Saint Phalle and Meret Oppenheim.
Drawing from this rich heritage, Philippe began his career as a designer of furniture and jewelry, crafting pieces that are both dreamlike and practical, with a desire to enchant and furnish the world.
Today, Philippe creates poetic artwork, combining organic curves with geometric forms while referencing Antiquity, modern art, and nature. His vision is characterized by the use of bold colors alongside natural materials; his love of wood and stone, comple¬mented by rich warm tones and golden accents, positions him as a distinctive voice in the art world. Philippe art’s explores how form and material can transcend words. To bring his creations to life, he collaborates with skilled and passionate artisans to convey emotion, producing contemporary works that honor craftsmanship. His unique approach strikes a balance between the legacy of tradition and the exploration of new models, evident in both the formal qualities of his art and his philosophical perspective.
