Fondation Beyeler

From Rousseau to Richter, from Brancusi to Bourgeois, from Monet to Miró, this volume presents twenty-five inspiring highlights that have transformed art in innovative ways. These works were selected from the more than 400 pieces held in the collection of the Fondation Beyeler. Whether found in the radical light reflected in Monet's water lily pond or in Warhol's Flowers, or in Mondrian's abstract grids or Rothko's expressively luminous color fields, these twenty-five works attest to a visionary power reaching far beyond their present times. Such works are emblematic of the modern art collection that has been carefully assembled by gallery owners Ernst and Hildy Beyeler and of the museum, which has become one of the most popular and successful venues in Europe since its founding in 1997.
