Exhibitions

"Silent Vision" until 15.11.2020

Modernity as the age of technical progress is characterised mainly by movement and velocity, which have also found multiple manifestations in art. At the same time, a longing for deceleration has evolved, which to this day expresses itself in ever new images of calm and quiet.

"The Lion Is Hungry" 10.10.2020 – 28.3.2021

The new collection presentation shows a selection of legendary paintings and sculptures in eight rooms- all of them masterpieces of classical modernism or contemporary art.

"You are the Weather" 10.10.2020 – 17.1.2021

This fall, the Fondation Beyeler will be presenting You are the Weather (1994–1996) by the American artist Roni Horn (*1955). In the one hundred portraits of a young woman, the viewer encounters the same face time and again in the water of an Icelandic thermal spring.

"Rodin/Arp" 13.12.2020 – 16.5.2021

For the first time in a museum exhibition, Auguste Rodin's and Hans Arp's enter into dialogue. The groundbreaking work of the great innovator of late 19th century sculpture meets the influential work of a protagonist of 20th century abstract sculpture.

"Close-Up" 5.9.2021 – 2.1.2022

The exhibition shows works by women artists occupying prominent positions within the history of modern art from 1870 to the present day.

"Goya" 10.10.2021 until 23.1.2022

Art Mediation

The Fondation Beyeler's main goal is to bring art and spectator together. Through our guided tours and workshops, we do not only share knowledge about artists, works and epochs, we create above all a space in which to deepen observations and exchange different views, perceptions, thoughts and feelings. Our goal is to let stories and therefore connections develop between the artwork and the viewer and it's especially important to the Fondation Beyeler that children and young people also be able to find their very own stories and connections.
