From Picasso and Klee to African art

The two focal points of the Berggruen Collection are works by Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee. Paintings, sculptures and works on paper by Picasso are displayed on three floors under the title "Picasso and his time". The collection of small-format and fragile works by Paul Klee depicts the poetic world of the painter from 1917 to 1940.

Highlights at the Berggruen Museum

The works of Klee and Picasso attract numerous visitors every year. Particular highlights are "Sky blossoms over the yellow house" (1917) by Paul Klee, "Nature morte devant une fenêtre à Saint-Raphaël" (1919) and "The Yellow Sweater" (1939) by Pablo Picasso and "Le cahier bleu" (1945) by Henri Matisse. The two main artists are surrounded by their predecessors and inspirers Cézanne, Van Gogh and examples of African art. Works by their great contemporaries Braque, Giacometti and Laurens are also on display.
