Denise Coates Exhibition Galleries
The Oskar Reinhart Collection in Winterthur, Switzerland, is one of the most remarkable art museums of its kind, with a collection that ranges from superlative old master paintings and drawings to an exceptional group of Impressionist art.
The works were assembled in the first half of the 20th century by Oskar Reinhart (1885-1965). Reinhart later opened the collection to the public in his beautiful villa on the outskirts of Zurich, called ‘Am Römerholz’, which, in 1958, became a museum of the Swiss confederation.
For the first time in its history, a rich array of highlights from the Reinhart collection will be displayed outside Switzerland, making this exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery a unique opportunity to see some of its masterpieces.
The exhibition will feature major paintings by artists of the generation preceding the Impressionists, such as Goya, Géricault and Courbet, but will focus especially on Reinhart’s extraordinary collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works.
At its heart will be some of the greatest paintings of these movements, including Manet’s groundbreaking depiction of modern life Au Café, Toulouse-Lautrec’s striking representation of the female performer Clown Cha-U-Kao, and a group of exceptional works by Cezanne.
A further highlight is the pair of famous paintings by Van Gogh made of the hospital in Arles, where he returned to paint after spending time there as a patient. The Reinhart collection has close affinities with that of The Courtauld, which provides the perfect context to stage this unprecedented exhibition.
