Two Case Studies: The Im Obersteg and Rudolf Staechelin Collections

This exhibition brings together two leading collections of early modernist art that now form part of the holdings of the Kunstmuseum Basel (Basle, Switzerland), the Staechelin Collection and the Im Obersteg Collection, offering an opportunity to enjoy works by the most reputed early modernist masters, the vast majority of which have never before been seen in Spain.

As a bonus, it is also a chance to explore the phenomenon of collecting, with an emphasis on the pioneering role of the liberal bourgeoisie in the complex early development of modern art.
