Avant-gardes

In the autumn of 2012, in the year of its twentieth anniversary, the Kunsthal Rotterdam is to present a remarkable exhibition entitled ‘Avant-Gardes', comprising works from the Triton Foundation collection. This exhibition marks the very first public showing of the carefully and lovingly assembled Triton collection. Over nineteen years, this private collection has grown to become one of international status with representative works by some of the most important and influential artists from the late 19th century until now. The exhibition comprises paintings, drawings and sculptures by dozens of artists including Paul Cézanne, Pierre Bonnard, Kees van Dongen, Raoul Dufy, George Braque, Picabia, Alberto Giacometti, Willem de Kooning, Elsworth Kelly and Frank Stella. With over one hundred works and additional pieces by Old Masters such as Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh as well as great innovators including Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondriaan, Yves Klein and Lucian Freud, ‘Avant-Gardes' provides a highly comprehensive overview of the developments in the history of Western art. The exhibition is accompanied by a detailed catalogue.
