Kunstmuseum Bern Celebrates Centenary of Albert Anker with Exhibition
BERN.- The Kunstmuseum Bern is putting on a large
retrospective of
Albert Anker’s manifold oeuvre to commemorate the centenary of this key
Swiss
artist’s death. The exhibition will take up several themes
representative for
Anker’s work and demonstrate how exceptional he was as a painter. Video
works by
Chantal Michel, a performance and media artist who lives in Bern,
enhance the
presentation. A trigger for this exhibition was the immensely
popular
Anker show that was organized by the Kunstmuseum Bern in 2007-2008 for
four
Japanese Museums.
