06:00 pm
– 07:00 pm
The Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst presents the first comprehensive retrospective of the oeuvre of the Swiss artist Xanti Schawinsky (born Basel, 1904–died Locarno, 1979). For the first time, the retrospective at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst brings together pieces from all periods of this artist’s creative output. Beyond the avant-garde utopias of the Bauhaus and his proto-happening art, Schawinsky’s oeuvre is linked in many ways to the major tendencies in European as well as American prewar and postwar 20th-century modernism.
