Niko Pirosmani

For some years now, the Fondation Beyeler has issued art prints of one or two motifs from almost every exhibition. Over time these have grown into a miniature collector’s edition of their own. The very high-quality and numbered prints are presented in a mount, whose back carries a text about the artist (in French) and information about the print (in English and French). Metal picture frames specifically for these prints are available from the Art Shop in a choice of black or white. They are supplied in kit form for easy self-assembly and are unglazed.

Niko Pirosmani (1862–1918) is a legendary, mythical figure. The Georgian artist is one of modern art’s enigmatic loners. Like Vincent van Gogh, Henri Rousseau and Marc Chagall, he succeeded in painting pictures revered by both ordinary people and avant-garde artists.
