EDWARD HOPPER

JANUARY 26 – MAY 17, 2020

The Fondation Beyeler’s 2020 spring exhibition will show works by #edwardhopper (1882–1967), one of the 20th century’s most important American painters. Hopper was born in Nyack, New York. After training as an illustrator, he studied painting at the New York School of Art until 1906. Next to German, French and Russian literature, the young artist found key reference points in painters such as Diego Velázquez, Francisco de Goya, Gustave Courbet and Édouard Manet.

The exhibition at the #fondationbeyeler will focus on Hopper’s iconic representations of the infinite expanse of American landscapes and cityscapes. To date, this aspect has rarely been highlighted in exhibitions devoted to #edwardhopper, yet it is key to understanding his work and its reception. With watercolors and oil paintings dating from the 1910s to the 1960s, the exhibition will provide an extensive and exciting overview of the multifaceted nature of Edward Hopper’s oeuvre.

"Early Bird Special" only available until December 31, 2019

A further highlight of the exhibition will be the screening of a short film by renowned director and photographer Wim Wenders. Inspired by Edward Hopper’s “American spirit”, the film will be shown in spectacular 3D projection.

Organized by the #fondationbeyeler in cooperation with the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the major repository of Hopper’s work.

Advance booking tickets are available from 1.11. till 31.12.2019 at a special price of CHF 20.– instead of CHF 25.–
