8/FONDATIONBEYELERThe museum, which was builtby architect Renzo Piano, is idyl-lically situated in the groundsof Berower Park. Four major ex-hibitions will be shown in 2014in addition to the legendary col-lection by Ernst and Hildy Beye-ler.The latter consists of around250 masterpieces ranging fromClassical Modernism to contem-porary art, including works byMonet, Cézanne andVan Gogh,not forgetting Picasso, Matisse,Klee, Giacometti,Warhol andBacon, presented alongsideobjects of ethnographic art fromAfrica, Alaska and Oceania.

02.02.–18.05.2014Odilon RedonOdilon Redon’s (1840–1916)work is characterized bycontrasts, evolving from thepalette of blacks of his earlywork to the explosive colour-fulness of his later pastelsand oil paintings. Bizarremonsters appear alongsideheavenly creatures – natureand imagination interminglein the work of this protago-nist of symbolism.

Ernst Beyeler recollects: “I often used to visitPicasso. One day, he took me by the arm, openedthe door to a room and said: ‘Choose something!’I felt as if I was in Ali Baba’s cave: there were more than eighthundred paintings.”

Switzerland’s first museum café in theMuseum der Kulturen Basel, the Yamsknolle,opened in 1960.This was only made possible through the voluntary work of160 Basel women.

Director Billy Wilder asked Charles Eamesto design him a narrow couch. He used tolie on it with his arms crossed. As he startedto relax, his arms would fall to his sidesand wake him up.The Soft Pad Chaise was designed in 1968. Billy Wilder donated it to theVitra Design Museum in 1996.

The Dinkelberger Madonna from 1500 is oneof the treasures of the Dreiländermuseum.The sculpture was discovered in a smokehouse in the midst of bacon andsausages. After years spent lying there, it had turned quite black.

Following a referendum campaign with theslogan “All you need is Pablo” in 1967, 54 percent of voters said yes to a public-sectorloan of 6 million francs to purchase two ofPicasso’s major works for the KunstmuseumBasel.Picasso was so touched by this democratic declaration of admiration thathe offered the city another four paintings.
