A poetic response to the moon landing

Max Ernst painted Naissance d'une galaxie (Birth of a Galaxy) in the year of the first moon landing. The work, painted in oil, reflects upon man’s yearning to explore other spheres, in a poetic vision that is at the same time tinged with irony. The dimensions of the poster correspond closely to those of Ernst’s canvas (92 x 73 cm) and – in combination with the high quality of the reproduction – conveying an accurate impression of the original.

To stand in front of originals and look at art one-to-one is always a very special experience. To keep the impressions of your visit fresh in your mind and art a presence in your daily life, too, the Fondation Beyeler offers a variety of products featuring reproductions of works from the exhibition. The selection ranges from cards, posters and notebooks to scarves, cups, glasses and more. These products are also wonderfully suited as stylish gifts for art-loving friends and relatives.
