Paul Klee exhibition in Paris
April 14-July 19
Musée de l'Orangerie
Paris, France

This exhibition organized with the Beyeler Fondation from Basel (Switzerland) presents a selection of masterpieces by Swiss artist Paul Klee (1879-1940) collected since the 1940's by Ernst Beyeler. The collector gathered works covering the entire career of the painter, but he focused on the later part of his career rather than the early one, therefore the Paris exhibition follows the same trend.
