We wish you Happy Holidays! ⛄️🤍 Our "Snowman" welcomes you not only during the snowy Christmas season, but all year round. The solar-powered sculpture by Swiss artists Fischli/Weiss surprises many visitors upon arrival in the Museum Park of Fondation Beyeler. Our beloved men of snow sits in a refrigerator with a glass door, allowing it to exist throughout the year. The image of complete energy dependency, so endearingly embodied by “Snowman” (1987/2019), acquires a new, poignant and terrifying dimension in view of the climate crisis. “Snowman” furthermore illustrates the contradiction between nature and artificiality, displaying the penchant for the absurd typical of the work of Fischli/Weiss. Let our "Snowman" welcome you at and meet other fascinating sculptures and works from the Beyeler Collection in our wonderful "Anniversary Exhibition - Special Guest Duane Hanson" which is still on display until 8 January 2023. 👉🏼🎄 We are open all days of the year, even on the festive days.
