Marcel Schaffner. Ein Querschnitt. Arbeiten von 1950 - 2009

Description

The exhibition opens on October 15, 2026, with a vernissage including a reception. It presents a comprehensive overview of Schaffner's oeuvre, which balances expressive abstraction and geometric tectonics, influenced by American Color Field painting and characterized by powerful linocuts, large-scale paintings, and sensitive works on paper. The event also highlights his long-standing influence as a teacher at the Basel School of Design, shaping generations of local artists. Visitors are invited to rediscover his visionary approach to form, space, and the dialogue with silence.
