Collection Display

Alberto Giacometti and Ferdinand Hodler are at the heart of the Fondation Beyeler’s new collection display. Both Hodler’s late Alpine landscapes and Giacometti’s frail-looking human figures raise the question of perspective. While Hodler's summit views derive their monumental effect from the alternation between proximity and distance, Giacometti plays with different proportions and viewpoints. The display further features themed rooms showing masterpieces from the collection by, among others, Francis Bacon, Louise Bourgeois, Paul Cézanne, Peter Doig, Jean Dubuffet, Marlene Dumas, Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt and Pablo Picasso. To mark his 70th birthday, a monographic room is dedicated to the internationally influential sculptor Thomas Schütte.
