Zentrum Paul Klee celebrates 20 years with a year full of artistic highlights
To mark its 20th anniversary, the Zentrum Paul Klee 2025 is presenting a varied program: a major Le Corbusier exhibition, a retrospective on Anni Albers and the works of British artist Rose Wylie are the focus, complemented by highlights from the permanent exhibition "Kosmos Klee".
The anniversary year 2025 marks a special chapter for the Paul Klee CenterAn impressive exhibition on Le Corbusier focuses on the work of one of the most important architects and artists of modernism. Le Corbusier, who wanted to create a new living environment with radical creativity, inspired generations - the center dedicates a tribute to his sculptural thinking that goes far beyond architecture.
Anni Albers, whose work as a textile artist began at the Bauhaus and came to full bloom in the USA, is honored in a retrospective exhibition. Her innovative textile designs, which combined architecture and design, show a rare harmony of structure and aesthetics.
This summer will see the presentation of large-format works by British artist Rose Wylie, whose unmistakable style combines pop culture, literature and personal narratives in bold colors. Wylie manages to challenge conventions with her pictures and establish an idiosyncratic, lively visual language.
In 2025, the permanent exhibition "Kosmos Klee" will focus on several themes: in addition to a look at Paul Klee's relationship to music and his presence on book covers, the center will be showing works by this pioneer of abstraction in Latin America for the first time in Switzerland with the exhibition on the German-Venezuelan artist Gertrud Goldschmidt (Gego).
The accompanying cultural program complements the year with musical and literary highlights. Names such as Emmanuel Pahud, Xavier de Maistre and Grigory Sokolov characterize the master concert series, while readings by Martina Hefter, Margrit Schriber and other authors herald the literary season.
