The Fondation Beyeler devotes a comprehensive solo exhibition to Elizabeth Peyton, conceived in close collaboration with the artist. It brings together paintings, drawings and prints from various phases of her career. Peyton's intimate, atmospheric portraits of friends, fellow artists, musicians and historic figures centre on closeness, fragility and emotion. This is the first comprehensive overview of the US-American painter's work in Switzerland.
