A must see show comes to an end on May 24, 2009.
Titled Visual Encounters - Africa, Oceania and Modern Art, the exhibition in Basel, Switzerland is the subject of a special issue in the Spring 2009 Tribal Magazine.
The Fondation Beyeler exhibition centers around art works from Africa and Oceania. Our own selected group of sculptures will be enriched by about 180 outstanding loans from over 50 public and private collections. Each of the thirteen exhibition spaces focuses on an African or Oceanian cultural region, emphasizing its unique character. These extra- European works of the highest quality and global significance are juxtaposed with masterpieces of classical modernism from the Beyeler collection. The exhibition sheds light on the visual force and sensuous presence of the works on view, the source of the unceasing fascination they exert on people from all walks of life around the world.
