Rediscover masterpieces
From Rousseau to Richter, Brancusi to Bourgeois, Monet to Miro, this volume offers a fresh look at twenty-five highlights that have transformed art, selected for the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Fondation Beyeler from its collection of some four hundred works. Whether in the revolutionary reflections of light in Monet's water lily pond, in Warhol's Pop Art piece Flowers, Mondrian's abstract grids, or Rothko's expressively luminous color fields, these twenty-five works reveal a visionary power that points beyond their present. They are emblematic of the modernist collection assembled with sensitive intuition by the gallery owners Ernst and Hildy Beyeler, and of the museum itself, which has become one of the most popular and successful in Europe since its founding in 1997.
