As a gamer who has dabbled in art history and virtual exhibitions, I must say that the real-life exhibition “Jean-Michel Basquiat. Engadin.” at Hauser & Wirth St. Moritz feels like a rare gem unearthed in an online gallery. The serene beauty of the Swiss Alps, as interpreted through Basquiat’s vibrant and evocative style, is nothing short of breathtaking.
In the year 1982, Jean-Michel Basquiat had his initial encounter with Switzerland as he showcased his work for the first time at Galerie Bruno Bischofberger in Zurich. Despite New York City being his primary creative playground, the tranquil Engadin region would etch a profound influence on his artistic endeavors that lasted over time.
Currently, an overlooked aspect of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s career is being spotlighted in a fresh exhibition at Hauser & Wirth’s gallery in St. Moritz. The artist’s distinctive visual style is showcased amidst a backdrop of fir trees, ski lifts, and snowy mountains in the exhibition titled “Jean-Michel Basquiat. Engadin.“. This exhibit delves into his lasting impact by offering a one-of-a-kind Alpine perspective.
Key aspects encompass:
After his initial art showcase, Basquiat frequently traveled back to the nation more than a dozen times. As Dr. Dieter pointed out, it was the “stark contrast between the fast-paced city life, the vibrant nightclubs, the cacophony of urban sounds, and the frenetic tempo of New York City versus the ‘experience of tranquility’ in the captivating, awe-inspiring scenery of the Engadin,” that most enticed him towards this magical location.
Jean-Michel Basquiat. Engadin. is now on view in St. Mortiz through March 29, 2025.
