Kunsthaus Zürich

110 works of Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Nouveau Réalisme, Pop Art and Minimal Art, Arte Povera and more; the artists include David Smith, Serge Brignoni, Pablo Picasso, Yves Klein, Willem de Kooning, Anthony Caro, Richard Serra, Brice Marden, Sean Scully and Giuseppe Penone.

This exhibition focuses on the artistic method Matisse brought to bear in almost all his principal sculptures: starting out from a seemingly naturalistic approach, his figures progressed through increasing degrees of abstraction that culminated in radical stylization. At the same time he captured the key ‘states’ as sculptures in their own right, laying bare the workings of his creative process.
