Cézanne to Richter – Masterpieces from the Kunstmuseum Basel

Curated by Bernhard Mendes Bürgi, “Cézanne to Richter – Masterpieces from the Kunstmuseum Basel“, is an exhibition that traces the major developments in European painting through the 1970s.

One highlight of the Öffentliche Kunstsammlung Basel is its collection of eminent works of late-nineteenth-century and classic modernist art. Works by masters from Paul Cézanne to Gerhard Richter are on display in the great skylight hall and the adjacent galleries of the Museum für Gegenwartskunst. The exposition offers a panorama of the evolution of European painting through the 1970s that enables visitors to trace the seminal artistic developments of the period.

The show features around seventy works by Cézanne, Pissarro, Monet, Degas, Renoir, van Gogh, Modersohn-Becker, Böcklin, Hodler, Braque, Picasso, Kandinsky, Mondrian, Klee, Miró, Fontana, Palermo, Tanguy, Richter, and others.
