Special exhibition 'Giacometti – Cézanne – Picasso' at Leopold Museum in Vienna
From 17th September 2010 till 17th January 2011 for the first time in Austria the Leopold Museum is showing a representative cross-section from the collection of the Beyeler Foundation in Basel. Starting in autumn 2010, a singular collaboration has made it possible for the Leopold Museum in Vienna to present leading masterpieces of Impressionism and Classical Modernism – from Monet to Picasso. Since the museum was established, it never happened that such a huge number of major art works left the Beyeler Collection at once. The distinguished collectors, Ernst Beyeler and Rudolf Leopold, have both personally selected the pieces for this exhibition.
