Clegg & Guttmann

Clegg & Guttmann. 120 Jahre nach dem Ersten Zionistenkongress in Basel

With freshly installed art on three floors, a virtually transformed Kunstmuseum Basel | Gegenwart awaits visitors starting on November 25, 2017. The focus is on treasures from the Kunstmuseum’s own collections and the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation as well as three interventions: by Claudia & Julia Müller, Marianne Eigenheer, and, perhaps most strikingly, the artist duo Clegg & Guttmann, whose work is on view in the museum’s skylight hall.

In Basel, Clegg & Guttmann created a room installation in the Oberlichtsaal of the Kunsthalle in 1997 to mark the centennial of the First Zionist Congress. Twenty years later, this installation is now being presented in a reinterpretation at the Kunstmuseum Basel | Gegenwart.

Clegg & Guttmann have been working together since 1980. Both studied in New York, and both currently teach at art colleges in Karlsruhe and Vienna.
