Lives and Work in Vienna
b. Solothurn, Switzerland, 1944

Helmut Federle (Solothurn, 1944) has had solo exhibitions at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Basel, the Kunsthalle Zurich, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Friedericianum in Kassel, the Galerie national du Jeu de Paume in Paris, the Kunstmuseum Bonn, as well as the Kunsthaus Bregenz. He also represented Switzerland at the 47th Venice Biennale in 1997. By this time, he had become internationally well-known primarily for his large geometrical paintings. However, his smaller pictures have also been exhibited many times in the last decade—for example, in the major exhibition American Songline in the Kunstmuseum Luzern in 2012-13. The Kunstmuseum Basel has devoted to Helmut Federle a solo presentation in 2019.
His works can be found in many museums and private collections, including the Kunstmuseum Bonn, the Tate Modern in London, the Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Goetz Collection in Munich.
