Paul Klee Retrospective at Fondation Beyeler Explores Abstract Dimension

The Fondation Beyeler in Riehen, Switzerland, presents 'Paul Klee. La dimensione astratta', a major retrospective of Paul Klee (1879–1940) running until January 21, 2018. The exhibition features 109 works spanning from 1912 to 1940, tracing the artist's journey toward abstraction. Curated by the museum, the show includes pieces such as 'Zeichen in Gelb' (1937) and 'Blühendes' (1934). The review, written by Marco Enrico Giacomelli for Artribune's Grandi Mostre #7, discusses Klee's approach to abstraction, referencing philosophers like Jean-François Lyotard and Georges Didi-Huberman, and composer Pierre Boulez. Klee was labeled a 'degenerate artist' by the Nazis. The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see a comprehensive collection of his work.
