The Fondation Armand Niquille is presenting a major exhibition featuring paintings by the Fribourg artist and works by three other Swiss artists: Dominique Appia (1926-2017) from Geneva, Andreas His (1928-2011) from Basel and Émilienne Farny (1938-2014) from Vaud.
Entitled URBANITÉS, the exhibition brings together some sixty paintings in the unusual setting of a room in the former Brasserie Cardinal at the SwissBierMuseum on the Bluefactory site, and highlights the different approaches of these four Swiss artists, all dead, who took a unique look at urban reality.
The public can discover or rediscover emblematic works by Armand Niquille, putting Fribourg and its urban setting in the spotlight.
The exhibition is open at the following times:
Thursday and Friday: from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday: from 10:00 to 18:00.
Admission CHF 5.- , with the SwissBierMuseum CHF 10.
To accompany and document the exhibition, the Fondation Armand Niquille is publishing a bilingual book F/D containing several texts and studies on the theme of the city and urbanism, as well as reproductions of all the works on show, from private collections, museums and public institutions.
Available at the exhibition reception desk for CHF 39.00
