Intro
After 15 years of preparation, the famous Solothurn painter Frank Buchser is getting his own museum.
After 15 years of preparation, the famous Solothurn painter Frank Buchser is getting his own museum. In the second half of the 19th century, he painted to secure his place in history, competing with his fellow artists Böcklin, Anker, Koller, Stückelberg, Calame, Diday, Frölicher, and the young Hodler. Our museum aims to make Frank Buchser’s wish a reality.
The artist’s work is presented across 300 square meters in six light-filled exhibition rooms. Through paintings, drawings, photographs, and writings, you will get to know the extraordinary painter and man Frank Buchser. Outstanding works from his American period, both well-known and many lesser-known pieces, will make your visit to the museum a fulfilling experience!
The masterpiece “Market in Tangier” made such a profound impression on me during the commemorative exhibition marking the 100th anniversary of Frank Buchser’s death, organized by the Kunstmuseum Solothurn in 1990, that I was immediately infected by the “Buchser virus”! With the acquisition of my first oil study in 1999, the dam of my hesitation was definitively broken. This has since allowed me to experience unforgettable moments of encounter. Encounters with the artist’s work, with people and institutions that honored his legacy, and who supported me in bringing this museum to fruition.
