Fondation Beyeler

MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY MASTERPIECES
The museum in Riehen near Basel is internationally renowned for its high-calibre exhibitions, its outstanding collection of modern and contemporary art, as well as its ambitious programme of events. The museum building was designed by Renzo Piano in the idyllic setting of a park with venerable trees and water lily ponds. It boasts a unique location in the heart of a local recreation area, looking out onto fields, pastures and vineyards close to the foothills of the Black Forest. In collaboration with Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, the Fondation Beyeler is constructing a new museum building in the adjoining park, thus further enhancing the harmonious interplay of art, architecture and nature.

Current exhibitions

Niko Pirosmani

-
Georgian artist Niko Pirosmani (1862–1918) is a legend: (for now) unknown to many, he is almost fanatically revered by others. As the exhibition will show, Pirosmani was an outstanding exponent of early modern art. To a rare extent, already in his lifetime Pirosmani’s art spoke to all, from people on the street and in taverns to avant-garde artists and writers. With just a few brushstrokes, he transformed the quotidian into the exceptional, creating icons of glowing intensity.

The exhibition is documented in the following languages: D/F/I/E

From Cézanne to Tillmans

-
The new collection display offers novel insights, unfamiliar perspectives and inspiring encounters. Remarkable landscapes are shown alongside significant still lifes. Next to this selection of works, the collection display features Georg Baselitz’ tribute to Niko Pirosmani Von Tiflis nach Paris, und zurück, 2019.

The Fondation Beyeler devots a comprehensive solo show to Canadian artist Jeff Wall (*1946). Since the late 1970s, Wall has contributed significantly to establishing photography as an autonomous medium and he is regarded as one of the key practitioners of “staged photography”. The more than fifty works brought together by the Fondation Beyeler will include large transparencies displayed in lightboxes as well as black and white photographs and colour C-prints.
