Alis Guggenheim (Lengnau, 1896 – Zurich, 1958) was a Swiss painter who also worked as a sculptor, and is best known for her paintings.
After opening a fashion house in Zurich in 1916, called the Salon des Modes, she travelled to the Soviet Union in 1919 with Mischa Berson, a Russian student and communist. There she worked as a seamstress and joined the Communist Party. Her daughter Ruth was born in 1920. When her relationship with Berson ended, she returned to Switzerland, reopened her salon and joined the Swiss Communist Party.
In 1924 the fashion house became a studio, and she began working as a sculptor; that same year she took part in her first exhibition. In 1942 she moved to Muzzano in the canton of Ticino, where she kept company with the writers Lisa Tetzner and Kurt Held. In 1954 she received the Art Prize of the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities, and soon afterwards held her first solo exhibition in Zurich, which was a financial success. Her work was bought by municipal, cantonal and federal bodies.
She died in 1958 after a brief illness and was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Lengnau. Some of her works are on display at the Jewish Museum of Switzerland, the Aargauer Kunsthaus and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
