Description

Wayne Thiebaud

Each work of art is an original which is part of what makes it so special. The disadvantage, however, is that the work cannot be in several places at once. As a way of allowing us to look at paintings outside as well as inside the museum, the Fondation Beyeler creates high-quality fine art prints of selected works. The masterpieces are printed on high-quality papers that are resistant to ageing. Find your favourite work in the Shop and enjoy it within your own four walls!

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.
