Gertrud Dübi-Müller (1888–1980) was one of Switzerland’s foremost art collectors, a passionate photographer, mountaineer, and driver of motorcars, and she modeled for Ferdinand Hodler: the Kunstmuseum Basel presents the first extensive exhibition dedicated to Dübi-Müller with around 80 works by renowned artists from her international collection, arresting photographs, and previously unpublished documents that shed light on her life and reveal her influential role in the history of art and culture.
The exhibition “Van Gogh, Hodler, and a Cabriolet” showcases outstanding works by international artists including Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh, and Gustav Klimt as well as eminent Swiss artists including Amiet, Alice Bailly, Giacometti, and Hodler. In addition to the works from the Dübi-Müller Foundation and the Josef Müller Foundation at the Kunstmuseum Solothurn, it also features works provided by private lenders that were formerly in Dübi-Müller’s collection. Photographs, previously unpublished letters, hand-painted postcards, and other archival materials that artists and creative professionals sent to Dübi-Müller provide intimate insight into her network.
On this afternoon, there will be an English-language guided tour of the exhibition.
Cost is entrance fee plus CHF 7 for the tour.
