Mostly about museums, mainly in Switzerland
I first came across Hermann Scherer in the Expressionismus Schweiz exhibition at the Kunstmuseum in Winterthur. There is something about his bold style that draws me in. The vibrant colours of his paintings, but more so the wood sculptures. I was excited to learn that there would be an exhibition focusing on his sculptures and woodblock prints at the Kunstmuseum in Basel.
I love it when an experience exceeds your expectations. I had this feeling last week when I visited the Museum der Kulturen in Basel for the first time. I knew about the museum from previous visits to Basel, but I hadn’t ventured in.
Two very different exhibitions are closing at the end of July. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see them. One is in Basel and the other in Pully near Lausanne.
I was looking forward to visiting the Hopper exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel. It was my first museum visit, post Corona lockdown, and I was happy to hear that the exhibition had been extended until 26 July.
