Outsider-Art from the Collection
Presentation of Works from the Adolf Wölfli Foundation
The Adolf Wölfli Foundation was founded by Elka Spoerri (1924-2002). The Foundation administers the estate of the “writer, poet, artist and composer” Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930) and, since its founding in 1975, enjoys guest status at the Museum of Fine Arts Bern.
Initially an outsider in every sense of the word, the work of Adolf Wölfli is one of the highlights of the Kunstmuseum Bern. Controversial, unique and visionary, it repeatedly challenges the viewer anew. Today, his drawings and collages are collected and exhibited all over the world, his writings appear in the most diverse publications, and admiration for his vision remains widespread. Changing exhibitions of Adolf Wölfli’s works are presented at the Kunstmuseum Bern year-round.
