------------------------------------
This year the Museum Tinguely in Basel is
dedicating its large summer exhibition to one of the most
important figures of the Russian avantgarde: Vladimir Tatlin
(1885–1953). It is now
almost twenty years since the last comprehensive retrospective
to be devoted to this radically innovative artist. The presented
works will include early paintings, counter-reliefs that reach
out into the surrounding space, reconstructions of his revolutionary
tower, and the flying machine Letatlin. The exhibition is
rounded off with examples of his work for the theatre. The
oeuvre of this outstanding artist from the watershed period
at the beginning of the twentieth century will be represented
in over one hundred masterpieces, mostly on loan from major
collections in Moscow and St Petersburg.
