The paintings of Swiss artist Helmut Federle can be considered exercises for the observation of an art object. He engages in the tradition of geometric abstraction, renewing and expanding it, exploring the relationship between figure and ground, between order and disorder, and between movement and stillness. Within his work, there is also an enduring interest in the cultural production, symbolism, and relation to nature which the artist found in Pre-Columbian American cultures. His work has been presented in many institutions, such as the Galerie national du Jeu de Paume, Paris; Kunstmuseum, Basel; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Nantes; Tate Modern, London; Albertina, Vienna; Kunstmuseum, Bonn; Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Kunsthaus Zürich; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; and the Venice Biennale.
