Bernard Buffet

The exhibition Bernard Buffet. Existentialist and Popular Artist in the collection rooms of the Im Obersteg Foundation in the Kunstmuseum Basel | Hauptbau offers the opportunity to rediscover the early work of the French painter Bernard Buffet (1928-1999). The "painter of existentialism" has long been forgotten. In addition to his fascinating paintings, film footage, photographs, and other documents in the presentation bear witness to a legendary artist's career and the culture of post-war Paris, and provide insights into the stories surrounding the controversial artist.
