The Fondation Beyeler is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a large-scale presentation of its collection. Covering almost the entire exhibition space of the museum, the approximately 100 works on display include great modern classics as well as new acquisitions.
Major works by Vincent van Gogh,
Claude Monet,
Paul Cézanne and
Henri Rousseau will be shown alongside masterpieces by
Pablo Picasso,
Henri Matisse,
Alberto Giacometti,
Mark Rothko,
Andy Warhol and
Louise Bourgeois. These, in turn, are shown alongside contemporary positions by
Marlene Dumas,
Roni Horn,
Felix Gonzalez-Torres and
Rachel Whiteread, offering a rare opportunity of experiencing in depth the quality of the collection of the Fondation Beyeler. The exhibition is further complemented by the integration of several hyper-realistic sculptures by the US-
American artist Duane Hanson. This “exhibition within the exhibition” opens up surprising perspectives on the artworks, architecture, as well as the people in the museum.
