Gauguin to Picasso: Masterworks from Switzerland, The Staechelin & Im Obersteg Collections

(Oct 10, 2015–Jan 10, 2016)

Exhibition curator Renée Maurer introduces Gauguin to Picasso: Masterworks from Switzerland.

Drawn from two major Swiss collections, exhibited together for the first time in the United States, Gauguin to Picasso: Masterworks from Switzerland presents more than 60 celebrated works by 22 world-famous artists of the mid-19th and 20th centuries. Pioneering supporters of modern art Rudolf Staechelin (1881–1946) and Karl Im Obersteg (1883–1969), both from Basel, were friends and patrons of the Kunstmuseum Basel, where these paintings are normally on display. Their renowned holdings, called “sister collections,” find their counterparts in the intimate galleries of The Phillips Collection.
