Trees and forests in paintings and sculptures Würth Collection
The exhibition at Forum Würth Arlesheim brings together around 60 works by 36 artists from important art movements such as Impressionism, Expressionism and Land Art, from the end of the 19th century to the 21st century. Outstanding works from the Würth Collection, including Alfred Sisley, Franz Marc, Philipp Bauknecht, Günter Grass, John Baldessari, David Nash, Georg Baselitz, Anselm Kiefer and Gabi Streile, provide an insight into the fascination and significance of trees and forests for people and the visual arts.

The joy of the forest! - No subject in art history can easily surpass the forest in terms of expressiveness and the variety of interpretations associated with it. The history of mankind is also inextricably linked to forests and trees, and the fascination for the forest is timeless and cross-cultural. However, its social significance has changed fundamentally over the centuries. It has been the setting for fairy tales and legends, a projection space for deep longings and fears, a source of inspiration and fantasy, a space for freedom and recreation as well as a meaningful symbol or economic resource and an asset worth protecting.
Die Ausstellung «Waldeslust» folgt in wechselnden künstlerischen Positionen und Techniken, darunter Malerei, Zeichnung und Skulptur, thematisch den vielschichtigen Perspektiven des Waldes. Sie nimmt den singulären Baum in den Blick, vom Wurzelwerk bis in seine erhabene Krone. Die starke Symbolik des Waldmotivs kommt zum Ausdruck, in seiner Vergänglichkeit ebenso wie in seiner Bedeutung für den Menschen als Erholungs- und Sehnsuchtsort oder Lebensgrundlage. Die Ausstellung ist jedoch weit mehr als eine Reise in die Schönheit der Natur. Sie erinnert auch eindringlich an die drängende Bedrohung der Wälder angesichts von Phänomenen wie dem Waldsterben und die daraus resultierenden Folgen für den Menschen.

Ein separater Walderlebnis-Raum mit sensorischen Impulsen und ein erstmals gezeigter Filmbeitrag des Fotografen Markus Bühler über den Wald in vier Jahreszeiten sowie ein Audio-Waldspaziergang in das angrenzende Naturschutzgebiet Reinacher Heide schlagen eine Brücke in die Umgebung und ermöglichen weitere individuelle Walderfahrungen direkt vor Ort.
