15.09.2017 – 07.01.2018
Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Mark Tobey – The North Americans are here!
10 Americans is the first exhibition to explore how Paul Klee inspired famous American artists as well as his impact on art from 1930 to 1960 in the United States. At Zentrum Paul Klee visitors can admire major masterpieces from the other side of the Atlantic that have never been exhibited in Switzerland before. The exhibition has been co-organized with the Phillips Collection in Washington DC. The founder of this collection of Paul Klee’s work was among the first to introduce the artist and his art to a United States’ audience and make him and his work accessible to the general public on this continent. Many American artists have found inspiration in the works by Paul Klee that the Phillips Collection has on show in its Klee Room.
