Paul Klee
*The Artizon Museum will reopen on Tuesday, June 23, 2020, after its temporary closure to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
In 2019, the Artizon Museum acquired a collection of twenty-four works by the Swiss artist Paul Klee (1879-1940) that had been owned by a prominent Japanese collector. This group of works provides a comprehensive view of most aspects of the artist’s oeuvre, from the 1910s, when he rose to fame after participating in the Secession exhibition and the Blaue Reiter in Munich, through the 1920s, when he taught at the Bauhaus, and the 1930s, near the end of his life. In both quantity and quality, it may be one of the most distinguished collections of Klee’s work in the world. It clearly presents the trajectory of Klee’s ceaseless artistic experimentation with a variety of materials and techniques, his distinctive terrain. This group of works is especially valuable for further spurring understanding of this artist, his rare creativity, and his art. The exhibition will present twenty-five works: “Klee’s Island” (1932), which had already been part of the museum’s collection, plus the twenty-four new acquisitions, for visitors to enjoy experiencing the essence of Klee’s art and its fascination.
