Introduction to "Edward Hopper" at Fondation Beyeler

A little glimpse into the “Edward Hopper” exhibition together with our curator Ulf Küster.
We actually started production a while back and it seems ironic that now the museum is closed and we must practice “social distancing” Hopper’s work has become more topical than ever- but can’t be seen any longer. The clip gives an overview of the exhibition theme “landscapes”, Hopper’s relation to film as well as what the painter was after in work.
