Exhibitions
Pierre Huyghe | 24.5. – 13.9.2026
The Fondation Beyeler will present a major new exhibition of Pierre Huyghe (1962, Paris), one of the most innovative and influential contemporary artists. In an exhibition exclusively conceived for the Fondation Beyeler, newly created works will feature alongside key pieces from recent years.
Various Signs | 13.6. – 31.8.2026
The collection presentation "Various Signs", which runs alongside the "Pierre Huyghe" exhibition, brings together works from the collection that each engage with signs and meaning in their own way. The title is taken from a work in the collection by Georg Baselitz, to whom a separate room in the exhibition is dedicated.
Constellations | Autumn 2026 through autumn 2027
«Constellations» is the inaugural exhibition of the Fondation Beyeler’s newly expanded ensemble: for the first time, an exhibition will unfold across the new museum building designed by Peter Zumthor (Wyss Museum) alongside the museum building by Renzo Piano (Beyeler Museum), as well as the expanded park and the repurposed historical buildings. Bringing together around 230 works, the largest exhibition of its collection in the museum’s history will foreground the dialogue between art, architecture and nature for which the Fondation Beyeler is internationally renowned. Varied spaces, atmospheres and viewpoints will allow visitors to experience striking encounters with the artworks and their surroundings.
Ruth Asawa | 18.10.2026 – 10.1.2027
The first European retrospective dedicated to Ruth Asawa (1926–2013), the influential American artist of Japanese descent, offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience the ways in which Asawa transformed the simplest of materials into fascinating object, blurring the boundaries between abstraction and figuration, art and craft, action and contemplation.
Frida Kahlo | 31.1. – 17.5.2027
Early in the new year, the Fondation Beyeler will devote a major retrospective to Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), focussed on her body of work. Featuring around 50 paintings, the exhibition will bring together approximately one third of her entire painted oeuvre. It will further present 15 characteristic drawings.
Louise Bourgeois | 13.6. – 17.10.2027
In summer 2027, the Fondation Beyeler will devote a major exhibition to Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010), bringing together around 100 works from all phases of the great artist’s career. The exhibition will feature sculptures made of wood, plaster, bronze, latex and other materials as well as ink drawings, watercolours, oil paintings and some of her monumental Cells, installations that rank among Bourgeois’s most significant works. A selection of her iconic spider sculptures will be displayed across both museum buildings and the expanded park.
