Bern
residents, Victor and Anne-Marie Loeb, were among the city′s most active and
important art lovers. The Loebs were mainly interested in Constructivist Art
after 1960. On behalf of the eponymous Foundation, Kunstmuseum Bern is proud to
have provided a home to their collection, which has graced the museum
galleries. While most works are on paper, there are also several paintings and
sculptures. Among the artists are such illustrious names as Paul Klee, Max
Ernst, Joan Miró ">Joan Miró and Meret Oppenheim, alongside Yaacov Agam, Max Bill, Jean
Dewasne, Fritz Glarner, Jean Gorin, Johannes Itten, Alfred Jensen, Richard Paul
Lohse, Jesus Rafael Soto, Frank Stella and others. The collection is
particularly attractive for its enormous emotional and intellectual range, from
the purely rational to works in a more Surrealist idiom.
