Exhibition

The Roundhouse of International Spirits

17 January – 15 March 2009

In this exhibition, Julius Bissier’s delicately balanced watercolours were included alongside striking reliefs and collages by Hans Arp and Italo Valenti, painted reliefs by Ben Nicholson, paintings by Mark Tobey and Hans Richter and sculptures by Arp. Work by Raffael Benazzi was included to represent the impact of these artists on a younger Swiss generation.

The Roundhouse of International Spirits was organised by Kettle’s Yard in collaboration with Museo comunale d’arte moderna Ascona and Servizi culturali Città di Locarno, and supported by Alfred Harrison and The Henry Moore Foundation.

This exhibition was the only showing in the UK before it then travelled to Switzerland.
