Description

Hildy and Ernst Beyeler, a life’s work

The catalogue of the 2007 jubilee exhibition, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the museum and the 60-year history of Galerie Beyeler, brings together a superb selection of masterpieces of classical modernism which have long since found entry into public and private collections. The high points of the show include works by Bonnard, Cézanne, Dubuffet, Giacometti, Mondrian, and Picasso.
The catalogue essays describe the Beyelers' collecting activities and the significance of their contribution to international art in the second half of the 20th century and right up to today.
