Guided Tour of the Exhibition “HAP Grieshaber – Incision | Expression. The Würth Collection”
Sundays at 11:30 a.m.
Duration: 60 minutes
Cost: CHF 9 per person, no registration required
With “Incision | Expression,” the Forum Würth Arlesheim is dedicating the first solo exhibition from the Würth Collection in Switzerland to HAP Grieshaber (1909–1981). On view are selected works (woodcuts, paintings, books, magazines, posters, and photographs) from the 1960s through the 1980s, including significant series such as the “Basel Dance of Death” and the “Easter Ride.”
The exhibition explores, through thematic focus areas, his sociopolitical works, his musically and lyrically inspired pieces, as well as his personal “painted letters” and a series of self-portraits. The exhibition allows visitors to experience how the “cut” in Grieshaber’s work is both a creative gesture and a stance—a pointed expression that straddles protest, poetry, and intellectual depth.
Accompanying the exhibition are additional activities that invite visitors to engage more deeply with the artist and his work.
April 28, 2026 – May 2, 2027
Open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., free admission.
