SURREALISM IS one of the key artistic and literary movement of modernism. Originated in Paris in 1919-1924 and from there it developed world-wide effect. Influenced by Sigmund Freud and led by André Breton, the Surrealists wanted to change with a new kind of artificial life and society. A fascinating new creativity developed with the inclusion of dreams and the unconscious mind.
The exhibition brings together more than 200 masterpieces by Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Joan Miró and other Surrealist artists. As a further highlight the unique private collection of Peggy Guggenheim and Simone Collinet (André Breton's first wife), are also presented in addition to famous paintings and sculptures, photographs, drawings, manuscripts, jewelry and films be discovered.
The exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler is the first comprehensive in Switzerland, which is dedicated to Surrealism in Paris. As the famous exhibition of the Surrealists in Paris in 1938 it is divided by a series of Parisian street signs, some of which are real, others invented. The visitors will therefore go on a tour of the surreal city.
