Enjoying art in Vaduz

Collecting, preserving, providing access – after a long time, the Hilti Art Foundation is once again presenting exclusive art from its collection. In its museum building in Vaduz, it will be showcasing a total of 40 works of painting, sculpture, collage, photography and graphic art from 17 November 2023 to 27 October 2024 under the title “The Whole Palette”.

Experience art up close and personal

Vaduz is a wonderful place; nowhere else is so much culture in such a small and manageable space. The capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein presents itself as a cultural treasure chest that makes art accessible to everyone with its rich offer of sculptures in public spaces as well as varied exhibitions and special presentations.

The Hilti Art Foundation plays a special role in this regard. The important Liechtenstein private collection of the Hilti entrepreneurial family includes outstanding works that have been made permanently accessible to the public in temporary exhibitions and special presentations since 2015.

With the upcoming exhibition “The Whole Palette”, visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in art from classical modernism to the present.

Impressionism, cubism, expressionism, surrealism and concrete art meet here; a surprising variety of forms, colours, and themes come together here. Well-known works by Pablo Picasso, Max Beckmann, Ferdinand Hodler, Piet Mondrian or Verena Loewensberg are presented as well as first-class new acquisitions by Edvard Munch, Max Ernst, Sophie Taeuber-Arp or Callum Innes.

In addition, works by Jean Tinguely, Henri Matisse, Thomas Struth or Carol Wyss are waiting to be discovered and interpreted by art lovers for the first time. “A work of art should first and foremost appeal to the senses, especially to the human eye. In addition to this aspect, the artworks in this exhibition also have a spiritual-historical dimension," says Dr. Uwe Wieczorek, curator of the Hilti Art Foundation, explaining the selection of the collection on display.

The works of art can be viewed on a total of three floors. The basement will primarily feature paintings of classical modernism, while the first floor is dedicated to the richness of constructive and concrete art. The mysteriousness of the emergence and appearance of artistic forms – a line, a contour, an outline or a sculptural body – determines the image of the third upper floor.
