Body Images (1.9.22 – 26.2.23)

The dialogue exhibition Body Images features additional concepts of physicality with works from the collection.

It focuses on femininity, eroticism, and fertility: sensual portraits of women, ambivalent reflections on self-perception, fragmented physicality, exaggeration of the sexual, as well as an ironic examination of the erotic reduction of the feminine. In addition to well-known works by Aloïse Corbaz, Madeleine Lommel, and Hans Schärer, new works that deal with a fragile self-identity by Lotti Fellner-Wyler (1924–2018), the daughter of Otto Wyler, and Margrit Schlumpf-Portmann (1931–2017), who developed her own technique of “string painting” in large-scale works, will be shown at the museum for the first time.
