To coincide with the “Vija Celmins” exhibition, the Fondation Beyeler will show a presentation of its collection focussing exclusively on painting. Rooms devoted to individual artists feature works that have left a distinct imprint on this traditional medium and opened up new perspectives. The exhibition presents works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mark Bradford, Marlene Dumas, Wade Guyton, Pablo Picasso, Gerhard Richter, Mark Rothko, Wilhelm Sasnal, Wolfgang Tillmans and Andy Warhol. The new display establishes striking and unprecedented connections between outstanding works of modern and contemporary art. A special highlight is the museum debut of Gerhard Richter’s digital projection Moving Picture (946-3), Kyoto Version, 2019–2024. This year’s Daros room at the Fondation Beyeler is devoted to Mark Bradford. The display further features Andy Warhol’s monumental painting Sixty Last Suppers, 1986, on loan from the Nicola Erni Collection. Another focus is placed on Pablo Picasso, with a comprehensive gathering of more than 30 paintings and sculptures.
