The exhibition that never happened! It took about 40 years, until all the “Modena Paintings” by Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) have been reunited and are now being displayed together for the very first time. See the extraordinary exhibition "Basquiat. The Modena Paintings" currently at the Fondation Beyeler! In the summer of 1982, Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) travelled to Modena in Italy. Gallery owner Emilio Mazzoli had invited the 21-year-old New York artist to produce new works on site for a solo exhibition. Within a few days, Basquiat painted eight large-format canvases, some of them now among his most celebrated and valuable works. Despite this impressive output, however, the planned exhibition did not take place and the works were never shown together. So don't miss out on this unique opportunity and see "Basquiat. The Modena Paintings" now united at Fondation Beyeler until 27 August, 2023! Credits: All works copyright © Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Rencontre avec Florian Rodari, historien de l’art Né en 1910 dans une famille modeste et marginale du canton de Vaud, Jean Planque est devenu, grâce à un « oeil » exceptionnel sur la peinture de son temps, le conseiller de la jeune galerie Beyeler de 1954 à 1972, contribuant ainsi à sa renommée internationale. Au cours de ses démarches il est devenu le confident de nombreux artistes, notamment Pablo Picasso et Jean Dubuffet dont les œuvres constituent le sommet de sa collection, laquelle est désormais présentée à Aix-en-Provence , ville de son idole, Paul Cézanne. Personne n’est mieux placé que Florian Rodari, écrivain, éditeur et historien de l’art de renom, pour nous faire découvrir les merveilles de la collection Jean et Suzanne Planque dont il est le conservateur depuis 1998.

“The level of precision that you see on each work, it’s caring about that life.” – Doris Salcedo, 2023 Doris Salcedo collects witness statements and testimonies from individuals who have fallen victim to the ongoing conflict in her native Colombia, or deal with issues of migration, displacement and flight on an international level. While these personal narratives are not immediately decipherable in the final artworks, they inform the ways in which she approaches each project, centering her process on the memories of others. This summer, Fondation Beyeler is presenting eight of Doris Salcedo’s major series of works, showing the Colombian artist’s poetic, caring and yet still powerful approach on themes that couldn’t be more topical. Get to see the exhibition “Doris Salcedo” until 17 September at the Fondation Beyeler and discover the impressive works of one of the most important artists of our time.

«Wayne Thiebaud» in der Fondation Beyeler (29. Januar – 21. Mai 2023) Die Fondation Beyeler widmet dem amerikanischen Maler Wayne Thiebaud (1920–2021) die erste Einzelausstellung im deutschsprachigen Raum. Thiebaud, der seine Karriere ursprünglich als Grafikdesigner begann und kurze Zeit für die Walt Disney Studios in der Trickfilmabteilung arbeitete, beschwört in seinen Gemälden von Sahnetorten, Kuchenstücken, Cupcakes und Bonbons die Verheissungen und den Überfluss des «American Way of Life». Neben den Stillleben werden Figurenbilder sowie multiperspektivische Städtebilder und Landschaften ausgestellt, welche die Vielseitigkeit des brillanten Malers demonstrieren. Seine raffinierten Farbsetzungen scheinen die Motive zum Leben zu erwecken und schaffen eine ganz eigene Stimmung, die sich zwischen Nostalgie, Melancholie, Ironie und Witz bewegt. Die Retrospektive präsentiert mit 65 Werken aus vor allem amerikanischen Museen und privaten Sammlungen die wichtigsten Schaffensperioden des Künstlers und lädt dazu ein, seine Bildwelt und seine virtuose Malweise zu entdecken. Weitere informationen unter: 🤍 Die Ausstellung wird grosszügig unterstützt durch: Beyeler-Stiftung Hansjörg Wyss, Wyss Foundation Thomas und Doris Ammann Stiftung FX & Natasha de Mallmann Deborah und Philippe Peress sowie weitere private Gönnerinnen und Gönner, die ungenannt bleiben möchten. - EN «Wayne Thiebaud» at Fondation Beyeler (29 January until 21 May 2023) The Fondation Beyeler is devoting the first individual exhibition in the German-speaking world to American painter Wayne Thiebaud (1920–2021). Thiebaud, who initially started out as a graphic designer and briefly worked for Walt Disney Studios’ animation department, depicted the promise and profusion of the “American way of life” in his paintings of cream cakes, pie slices, candies and cupcakes. Next to such still lifes, the exhibition features figure paintings as well as multi-perspective cityscapes and landscapes, showcasing the painter’s versatility and dazzling technique. His highly sophisticated use of colour seems to breathe life into his motifs and creates a distinctive atmosphere that balances nostalgia, melancholy, irony and humour. Featuring 65 works on loan from mainly American museums and private collections, this retrospective presents the key periods of the artist’s work and invites viewers to explore his visual world and virtuoso painting technique.

Outre ces natures mortes, l’exposition présente des images de figures ainsi que des paysages urbains et naturels aux perspectives multiples, qui donnent à voir les nombreuses facettes et la brillance technique du peintre.

The Fondation Beyeler is considered one of the world's most beautiful museums. Its location in the middle of Berower Park, with its old trees, water lily pond and its views of cornfields, grazing cows, vineyards, and the foothills of the Black Forest, is unique. The building was designed by Renzo Piano and is elegantly integrated into this cultural landscape in an ideal combination of nature, art, and architecture. (Fondation Beyeler) The Beyeler Foundation consists of three parts: the Berower Park, acquired from the commune of Riehen in 1976; the 18th-century Berower Villa, which houses the restaurant and the administration; and the new museum. In 1991 Renzo Piano was approached by the Foundation and asked to develop an architectural project. Piano described the assignment as follows: A museum must attempt to reflect the quality of the collection and define its relationship with the outside world. This means it must play an active, but not aggressive, role. Two years later, the Foundation was granted building permission for the museum and construction began the following year. The long building covers the whole breadth of the narrow plot between a busy connecting road and a naturally protected area of agricultural land. It consists of two contrasting basic themes: long, solid walls and a light glass roof. All the external walls are clad with red Argentine Patagonian porphyry. The building is based on four 120-metre-long, parallel load-bearing walls about 7 metres apart. The two end façades are glazed and afford a view of the garden. The building is supported by a blind wall facing the road that joins up with the section which accommodates the bookshop, cloakroom, toilets and so on. This wall is a kind of backbone or formative zone on which the architecture of the whole building is based. The opposite longitudinal wall houses a winter garden with an outside view, a place of relaxation for visitors to the museum. The exhibition rooms which accommodate the collection are based on a well-proportioned grid of approximately 7 by 11 metres, or slightly larger in some cases, and bounded by two of the longitudinal walls. The rooms, which are not organised in any strict linear order, are arranged so that visitors can easily find their way around.

On the occasion of its twentieth anniversary, the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen (Basel, Switzerland) is presenting one of the most important artists in its collection: Claude Monet (1840-1926). The exhibition brings together sixty-three masterpieces from private collections and renowned museums such as the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Pola Museum in Japan, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and the Art Institute in Chicago. The featured works span Monet’s artistic development from Impressionism to his famous late work. In his paintings, Claude Monet experimented with the changing play of light and colors in the course of the day and the seasons. The show presents his Mediterranean landscapes, wild Atlantic coastal scenes, different stretches of the Seine, meadows with wild flowers, haystacks, water lilies, cathedrals, and bridges shrouded in fog. 15 paintings from various private collections that are seen extremely rarely are special highlights of the show.

Fondation Beyeler's first exhibition in 2022 is dedicated to Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986). Georgia O’Keeffe is one of the most significant artists of the 20th century and an outstanding figure in modern American art. The major retrospective at Fondation Beyeler in Riehen (Basel, Switzerland) offers an in-depth survey of the artist’s work including rarely seen paintings from public and private collections. The show features important works, from O’Keeffe’s earliest abstractions to her iconic depictions of flowers and landscapes of the American Southwest.

Spanning more than six decades, “Georgia O’Keeffe” will be the artist’s first major retrospective in Basel and the first comprehensive overview of O’Keeffe’s oeuvre in Switzerland for almost 20 years. The exhibition is organized by the Fondation Beyeler, Riehen / Basel, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris, in partnership with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe.

"Max Ernst" in der Fondation Beyeler, 26.5.- 8.9.2013. Max Ernst (18911976) gehört zu den vielseitigsten Künstlern der Moderne. Nach seinen Anfängen als Dadaist in Köln wurde er bald zu einem der Pioniere des Surrealismus in Paris. Als fortwährender Erfinder neuer Figuren, Formen und Techniken hat sich Max Ernst auch später ständig weiterorientiert. Dabei hat er ein einzigartiges Werk geschaffen, das sich jeder klaren stilistischen Definition entzieht und dessen Entwicklung vom bewegten Leben und den wechselnden Aufenthaltsorten des Künstlers in Europa und Amerika mitgeprägt ist. Die grosse Retrospektive in der Fondation Beyeler präsentiert eine exemplarische Auswahl von über 170 Gemälden, Zeichnungen, Collagen, Skulpturen und Büchern von Max Ernst, die alle Aspekte seines Werks umfasst. So erhält der Besucher zum ersten Mal in der Schweiz die Gelegenheit, das mannigfaltige OEuvre dieses Jahrhundertkünstlers in seinem gesamten Reichtum zu erleben. - La production de Max Ernst (18911976) fait partie des plus diversifiées de l'art moderne. Après s'être rapproché du dadaïsme à Cologne, il s'affirma rapidement comme un des pionniers du surréalisme à Paris. Ne se lassant pas d'inventer de nouvelles figures, formes et techniques, Max Ernst n'a jamais cessé d'explorer de nouvelles directions. Il a ainsi donné naissance à une oeuvre unique, qui se dérobe à toute définition stylistique évidente et dont l'évolution est également marquée par la vie mouvementée de l'artiste et par ses lieux de résidence changeants en Europe et en Amérique. La grande rétrospective de la Fondation Beyeler présente une sélection exemplaire de plus de 170 peintures, dessins, collages, sculptures et éditions illustrées qui regroupe tous les aspects de la création de Max Ernst, offrant aux spectateurs la première occasion de découvrir en Suisse l'oeuvre polymorphe de cet artiste dans toute sa richesse. - Max Ernst (18911976) is one of modernism's most versatile artists. Having started out as a Dadaist in Cologne, he soon became a pioneer of Surrealism in Paris. A tireless creator of new figures, forms and techniques, Max Ernst kept on evolving in new directions even up to his late years. His remarkable oeuvre, which defies any clear stylistic definition, was also shaped by his eventful life and the many different places in which he lived in Europe and America. The major retrospective at the Fondation Beyeler will present an exemplary selection of over 170 paintings, drawings, collages, sculptures and books by Max Ernst that encompass all aspects of his work. For the first time in Switzerland, visitors will be able to experience the full richness of Max Ernst's multifaceted oeuvre.

"Ferdinand Hodler" in der Fondation Beyeler, 27.1.-26.5.2013. Die Fondation Beyeler zeigt als erstes Schweizer Museum eine umfassende Ausstellung zu Hodlers Spätwerk. Seine internationale Bedeutung für die Kunst der Moderne wird gerade in diesen letzten Schaffensjahren sichtbar. Ferdinand Hodler, der wie kein anderer Maler in seinen Gemälden das Bild und das Selbstverständnis der Schweiz prägte, war zugleich einer der wichtigsten Künstler des Übergangs vom 19. Jahrhundert zur Moderne. Die rund 80 Bilder umfassende Ausstellung in der Fondation Beyeler konzentriert sich auf Werke, die er in den letzten fünf Jahren seines Lebens gemalt hat (19131918). Damals musste der aus sozial schwierigen Verhältnissen gekommene Künstler sich niemandem mehr beweisen: Er war wohlhabend und berühmt geworden. In seinen Gemälden greift er die Themen, die ihn sein ganzes Leben beschäftigen wieder auf. Er stellt sie in Serien und Variationen dar: Seine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Selbstportrait, die legendären Darstellungen der Schweizer Alpenwelt, seine Faszination für Frauen und den Tod. Seine Werke werden immer radikaler und abstrakter. Hodler wird zum Vorläufer der modernen Malerei. Die Ausstellung ist in Zusammenarbeit mit der Neuen Galerie, New York, entstanden. Die Leihgaben stammen aus renommierten Schweizer und amerikanischen Privatsammlungen und namhaften nationalen und internationalen Museen. Kuratoren der Ausstellung sind Ulf Küster (Fondation Beyeler) und Jill Lloyd (Neue Galerie).

Die Fondation Beyeler feiert in diesem Jahr ihr 25-jähriges Bestehen mit ihrer bisher grössten Sammlungsausstellung. Auf nahezu der gesamten Ausstellungsfläche des Museums werden rund 100 Werke von 31 Künstlerinnen und Künstlern präsentiert – von Klassikern der Moderne bis hin zu Neuerwerbungen zeitgenössischer Kunst. Dabei werden Hauptwerke etwa von Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol und Louise Bourgeois zu Positionen von Gegenwartskünstler*innen wie Marlene Dumas, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Tacita Dean und Rachel Whiteread in Beziehung gesetzt. Die Ausstellung bietet somit die einmalige Gelegenheit, die Sammlung der Fondation Beyeler in ihrer beeindruckenden Qualität und Tiefe zu erleben. Gleichsam als Ausstellung in der Ausstellung werden dabei auch 13 Skulpturen des bedeutenden US-amerikanischen Künstlers Duane Hanson (1925-1996) präsentiert, die für sich eine konzentrierte Retrospektive bilden. Diese treten in direkten Dialog mit Werken der Sammlung sowie der Museumsarchitektur und lenken darüber hinaus den Blick auf die Besucher*innen und Mitarbeiteer*innen der Fondation Beyeler.

A virtual stream in cooperation with Beatport and Denon DJ On April 7, 2021, at 8:00 p.m. CEST Fondation Beyeler will open its exhibition halls in the virtual realm, hosting a unique DJ-stream by one of the most renowned electronic music artists Dixon and the creative team of Transmoderna. The stream is broadcasted online in partnership with the music platform Beatport and Nordstern Basel. Throughout the one-hour-long performance, the iconic building of the museum transforms into a hyper-realistic total work of art. Together with the Fondation Beyeler and Nordstern Basel, Beatport will host its first ever virtual DJ-stream – from a fully digitized exhibition space of the renowned Swiss Art Museum. Electronic music artist Dixon will be performing his set in the shape of a hyper- realistic avatar. For the production of this extraordinary art.set, a versatile 3D-environment was melded, which features artworks from the Fondation Beyeler collection by Paul Klee, Auguste Rodin and Wolfgang Tillmans. It was realized by the creative team of Transmoderna, including the neural artist Sofia Crespo, the multimedia artist Sabrina Ratté, the generative artist Feileacan McCormick and thedigital artist Aaron Jablonski. Throughout the stream, the artworks and the building's architecture will be interpolated with artificial intelligence-based visual and particle effects in sync with the music. The result will take the audience beyond anything they have ever seen in a museum. Kicking off in the garden and spacious exhibition halls of Fondation Beyeler, the stream takes the viewer on a groundbreaking immersive experience tingling all senses. Using state-of-the-art technology, Transmoderna's creative team converted the museum's famous architecture into a hyper-real 3D model. Dixon also appears as a hyper-realistic avatar, making it nearly impossible for the audience to differentiate between reality and the virtual. Playing in a DJ booth seamlessly sculpted into the museum's space, the music mixed by the digital character gradually initiates the premises' redesign. Based on the original floor plan of the Fondation Beyeler, the newly created 3D environment goes through a remarkable audio-reactive transformation. Soon the walls' structure responds to the beats and bass of Dixon's set. Out of this process, a virtual architecture emerges that accurately replicates the real world yet impresses with a uniqueness that is distinct from reality. The transformation also affects selected artworks from the Fondation Beyeler collection: paintings by Paul Klee, Auguste Rodin's 'The Thinker', and photographs by Wolfgang Tillmans. Using artificial intelligence, artist Sofia Crespo and architect Feileacan McCormick, both working in generative and neural art, awake new visions of the classics. Additionally, multimedia artist Sabrina Ratté presents her digital sculptures, specially built for the stream. This way, Transmoderna's creative team enables the audience to see how machines of the 21st century imagine the art of the 20th century. Throughout Dixon's one-hour-long performance, all elements unfold surprisingly through the symbiosis between electronic music and creative coding. The idea of how a digital museum tour might look like is exceeded by the immersive experience of a virtual club night. Eventually, the audience themselves will have undergone a transformation: from a museum visitor to a wanderer through the virtual realm of the arts. ► Dixon 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 ► Transmoderna Visual Arts 🤍 🤍 🤍 Credits: Dixon (DJ/Executive producer), Ana Ofak (Transmoderna/creative direction, curator), Timur Novikov (Transmoderna/visual direction, curator), Aaron Jablonski (Transmoderna/techninal direction), Sofia Crespo (Transmoderna/neural artist), Sabrina Ratté (Transmoderna/multimedia artist), Feileacan McCormick (Transmoderna/generative artist), Alan Ixba (Transmoderna/technical assistance), Carlos Minozzi (Transmoderna/videography), Tim Deussen Studio (3D-modeling/Unity support), Mimic Productions (Digital character production/Motion capture), Rania Kim (production), Sandira Blas (PR), Franka Marlene Foth (Choreography), Rauke Lea Hollender (Transmoderna/social media). #Dixon #Transmoderna #FondationBeyeler #Livestream
“Increasingly I have grown interested in efforts to consider life not from a human-centric perspective but from a broad, biocentric perspective. I’ve found myself turning nouns into verbs – when I go through my exhibition, I try to tree, for instance – in order to become aware of perspectives that go beyond what we humans can properly imagine.” – Olafur Eliasson Olafur Eliasson introduces his exhibition “Life” at Fondation Beyeler. In this short film, Eliasson has used optical filters to mimic the perceptual apparatuses of other species, alluding to potential more-than-human perspectives of the exhibition and its surroundings. - Eine kleine Kurzfilm-Einführung von Olafur Eliasson in seine Ausstellung "Life" in der Fondation Beyeler. Die im Film verwendeten optischen Filter wurden von Eliasson kreiert, um die Wahrnehmung anderer Arten nachzuempfinden - als Anspielung auf die Möglichkeiten nicht-menschlicher Perspektiven auf die Ausstellung und ihre Umgebung. #FondationBeyeler #BeyelerLife

Il richiamo di una mostra antologica di Mondrian, ci ha permesso di visitare la magnifica Fondazione Beyeler a Basilea. Figlio di un impiegato delle Ferrovie, Ernst Beyeler nasce a Basilea nel 1921 e comincia a lavorare in giovane età presso una libreria antiquaria gestita da Oskar Schloss, un tedesco rifugiatosi in Svizzera per sfuggire alla persecuzione messo in atto dal nazismo contro ogni forma di autonomia culturale. Questo periodo è importante per lui, poiché il suo datore di lavoro, un intellettuale dotato di ampia e raffinata cultura, gli trasmette la propria passione per la letteratura, la filosofia e l'arte. Nel 1945 Schloss muore e Beyeler, che nel frattempo ha studiato storia dell'arte presso l'Università di Basilea, gli succede nella gestione del negozio. I primi momenti sono difficili ma Beyeler viene aiutato, anche dal punto di vista finanziario dalla sua futura moglie, Hildy Kunz. Gradualmente, Beyeler affianca alla vendita di libri quella di stampe, e la libreria diventa, a partire dal 1952, una galleria d'arte. Presso di essa si possono acquistare quadri di espressionisti tedeschi o di maestri francesi dell'incisione così come di artisti locali, magari poco conosciuti ma sempre in grado di distinguersi per originalità e doti espressive. Fin dalle origini, all'attività di gallerista Beyeler affianca quella di collezionista. Il suo gusto è sicuro, e il criterio in base al quale egli compie le sue scelte è sempre quello dell'assoluta qualità artistica. La passione di Beyeler è condivisa dalla moglie e la coppia, nel corso degli anni '50, riesce a dare alla galleria un respiro europeo. Un ulteriore salto di qualità avviene quando Beyeler stabilisce contatti con i grandi collezionisti d'oltre oceano. La sua galleria diviene una delle più prestigiose del mondo e stabilisce rapporti con i maggiori musei, verso i quali Beyeler diventa un interlocutore di leggendaria affidabilità. Con il passare degli anni la sua collezione personale si estende e giunge il momento di deciderne il futuro. Dopo un infruttuoso contatto con il Kunstmuseum di Basilea, che offre una sistemazione ritenuta da Beyeler non soddisfacente, si giunge alla decisione di creare una sede specificamente concepita allo scopo di ospitare più di 250 opere dipinte e scolpite i cui autori, per fare alcuni esempi, rispondono ai nomi di Van Gogh, Lichtenstein, Bacon, Monet, Braque, Picasso, Mondrian, Giacometti, Seurat, Klee, Rodin, Matisse, Calder, Degas, Chagall… La progettazione è affidata a uno dei massimi architetti viventi: il genovese Renzo Piano. Fra Beyeler e Piano - come racconta l'architetto italiano - si stabilisce una profonda intesa. Gli incontri sono numerosi e a poco a poco si genera fra i due personaggi una sorta di simbiosi. Beyeler è pignolo fino all'ossessione e vuole essere informato sui minimi particolari del progetto che l'architetto va elaborando nel suo studio parigino, mentre Piano è affascinato dal rapporto diretto con le opere d'arte che saranno ospitate nel costruendo edificio. Il risultato è un continuo scambio di esperienze e un integrarsi di sensibilità: alla fine del lavoro - secondo quanto dichiara lo stesso Piano - l'architetto si sentirà collezionista e il collezionista si sentirà architetto. L'edificio (inaugurato nel 1997), non è appariscente ma è pensato nei minimi particolari per accogliere nel modo più adeguato la collezione permanente e le mostre temporanee cui Beyeler attribuisce grandissima importanza. Ernst Beyeler muore nel mese di febbraio 2010. La progettazione dell'edificio destinato ad accogliere una collezione d'arte fra le più invidiabili al mondo è laboriosa. Si individua dopo lunghe ricerche un'ampia area verdeggiante situata nel comune di Riehen, non lontano dal nucleo urbano di Basilea, raggiungibile facilmente con i mezzi pubblici. La parte dell'edificio destinata al pubblico si estende su un solo livello, in modo da ottenere la massima accessibilità. Ampie vetrate fanno sì che fra l'interno e l'esterno si produca una continuità tale da inserire le opere esposte nell'ambiente naturale circostante. Una cura particolare è stata dedicata da Renzo Piano alla realizzazione del tetto che, attraverso un complesso sistema di alette mobili, analogo a quello installato dallo stesso Piano sulla Pinacoteca Agnelli di Torino, consente di diffondere all'interno dell'edificio la luce naturale nel modo più efficace. Una veranda, nella quale i visitatori trovano poltrone e possono consultare testi di storia dell'arte, apre la visione su un paesaggio digradante fino ad una zona boschiva. I muri esterni della costruzione sono rivestiti con lastre di una particolare pietra reperita in Patagonia, scelta personalmente da Beyeler dopo lunghissime esitazioni - descritte da Piano in modo affettuosamente ironico - per generare una sensazione di solidità e continuità nel tempo.
«Wayne Thiebaud» in der Fondation Beyeler (29. Januar – 21. Mai 2023) Die Fondation Beyeler widmet dem amerikanischen Maler Wayne Thiebaud (1920–2021) die erste Einzelausstellung im deutschsprachigen Raum. Thiebaud, der seine Karriere ursprünglich als Grafikdesigner begann und kurze Zeit für die Walt Disney Studios in der Trickfilmabteilung arbeitete, beschwört in seinen Gemälden von Sahnetorten, Kuchenstücken, Cupcakes und Bonbons die Verheissungen und den Überfluss des «American Way of Life». Neben den Stillleben werden Figurenbilder sowie multiperspektivische Städtebilder und Landschaften ausgestellt, welche die Vielseitigkeit des brillanten Malers demonstrieren. Seine raffinierten Farbsetzungen scheinen die Motive zum Leben zu erwecken und schaffen eine ganz eigene Stimmung, die sich zwischen Nostalgie, Melancholie, Ironie und Witz bewegt. Die Retrospektive präsentiert mit 65 Werken aus vor allem amerikanischen Museen und privaten Sammlungen die wichtigsten Schaffensperioden des Künstlers und lädt dazu ein, seine Bildwelt und seine virtuose Malweise zu entdecken. Weitere informationen unter: 🤍 Die Ausstellung wird grosszügig unterstützt durch: Beyeler-Stiftung Hansjörg Wyss, Wyss Foundation Thomas und Doris Ammann Stiftung FX & Natasha de Mallmann Deborah und Philippe Peress sowie weitere private Gönnerinnen und Gönner, die ungenannt bleiben möchten. - EN «Wayne Thiebaud» at Fondation Beyeler (29 January until 21 May 2023) The Fondation Beyeler is devoting the first individual exhibition in the German-speaking world to American painter Wayne Thiebaud (1920–2021). Thiebaud, who initially started out as a graphic designer and briefly worked for Walt Disney Studios’ animation department, depicted the promise and profusion of the “American way of life” in his paintings of cream cakes, pie slices, candies and cupcakes. Next to such still lifes, the exhibition features figure paintings as well as multi-perspective cityscapes and landscapes, showcasing the painter’s versatility and dazzling technique. His highly sophisticated use of colour seems to breathe life into his motifs and creates a distinctive atmosphere that balances nostalgia, melancholy, irony and humour. Featuring 65 works on loan from mainly American museums and private collections, this retrospective presents the key periods of the artist’s work and invites viewers to explore his visual world and virtuoso painting technique.

Thiebaud, qui avait initialement débuté en tant que graphiste et travaillé brièvement au sein du département d’animation des Walt Disney Studios, évoque dans ses tableaux de tartes à la crème, de parts de gâteau, de cupcakes et de bonbons les promesses et la profusion du «American way of life». Outre ces natures mortes, l’exposition présente des images de figures ainsi que des paysages urbains et naturels aux perspectives multiples, qui donnent à voir les nombreuses facettes et la brillance technique du peintre. Son utilisation raffinée des couleurs semble donner vie aux motifs représentés et crée une atmosphère toute particulière oscillant entre nostalgie, mélancolie, ironie et humour. Avec 65 oeuvres en provenance de musées et de collections privées principalement américains, cette rétrospective présente les principales périodes du travail de l’artiste et permet d’explorer son univers visuel et sa technique virtuose.
