Press release

Meyer Riegger is pleased to participate in Kunsttage Basel with the group exhibition Within the Context of a Stretched Canvas. 

The show brings together artworks by Tamina Amadyar, Henrik Håkansson, Sheila Hicks, Jeewi Lee and Jonathan Monk that – in various ways – continue or respond to non-representational art from the twentieth century. Whether directly referencing, adopting and pushing, or claiming and renewing some of the techniques, methods and aesthetics of the various strands of abstract art developed during the nineteen hundreds, the artworks in the exhibition highlight the lasting influence of these styles and their ongoing impact on contemporary art.

Kunsttage Basel is a collective event for contemporary and modern art. From August 29 to 31, 2025, various institutions in Basel will present a joint, art-filled program: www.kunsttagebasel.ch

Opening: Thursday 28 August, 5–9 pm
