Travel Tip: Art and Archaeology in Switzerland
Yves Klein & Rotraut



Yves Klein & Rotraut
SWITZERLAND
LUGANO  •  Museo d'Arte Moderna di Lugano  •  16 May - 13 September 2009
 
 

The exhibition dedicated to the artists Yves Klein (1928 - 1962) and Rotraut Uecker (b. 1938, Rerik, East Germany) focuses on the work of one of the leading artists of the Sixties, and his partnership with Rotraut, an artist close to him in terms of both poetics and imagery as well as being his wife.

The adventure of the two artists had continued along parallel paths for a period, but was suddenly interrupted in 1962 when Klein prematurely passed away.

The exhibition, curated by Bruno Corà and Daniel Moquay and organized in collaboration with the Archives Yves Klein of Paris, looks as a new critical exhibition covering the work of the Paris-born, French artist Yves Klein, taking place in the halls of the Museo d’Arte, alongside twenty-two metallic sculptures by Rotraut distributed throughout the city in squares and parks.
