From September 22, 2024 to January 26, 2025, the Fondation Beyeler presents the first Henri Matisse retrospective in Switzerland and in the German-speaking world in almost 20 years.

Matisse (1869–1954) ranks among the most famous exponents of modern art. His groundbreaking work has had a profound influence on generations of artists, from his contemporaries up to the present day.

By freeing colour from the motif and simplifying forms, he redefined painting and brought a hitherto unknown lightness to art. With more than 70 major works on loan from prestigious European and American museums as well as private collections, the exhibition highlights the development and the wide range of the artist’s pioneering oeuvre.

Tarbaca Indigo Foundation is proud to contribute to this exhibition.
