4月，巴塞尔艺术博物馆将开设一个新的扩建部分，这座博物馆拥有欧洲最大和历史最悠久的公共艺术收藏之一。主楼 “1936年开放” 和巴塞尔艺术博物馆 | 现代艺术部 “1980年开放”，位于莱茵河畔附近，将由新建筑进行补充。由著名的巴塞尔建筑师克里斯特和甘滕拜因设计，这个扩建部分通过地下通道与街对面的主楼相连。
建筑
新建筑通过许多元素引用了主楼的丰富建筑语言。这体现在具有中央圆形天窗的宏伟楼梯、大厅和楼梯区域的粉刷壁画上。这种对历史建筑的引用也反映在砖立面的颜色质量以及使用材料中高度精致的细节上。
尽管对主楼表示尊重，新的扩建部分也是一个独立的建筑，具有其自己的当代建筑语言。其多边形平面由一系列大小适当的矩形展厅组成。特别引人注目的是建筑地下层的宽敞走廊 “高约五米”。新建筑与圣阿尔班区的异质结构融为一体，并通过镶嵌在立面上的LED线条，直接辐射到城市。
首次展览《移动中的雕塑1946-2016》
新建筑将增加2740平方米的空间，主要用于博物馆的特展计划，并以伯恩哈德·门德斯·比尔基 “Bernhard Mendes Bürgi” 策展的调查展览《移动中的雕塑1946-2016》开幕。
展览以二十世纪的两位重要艺术家康斯坦丁·布朗库西和阿尔贝托·贾科梅蒂的晚期作品开幕，在克里斯特和甘滕拜因建筑师在新建筑的二楼创建的有天窗的展厅中展出。
In April the Kunstmuseum Basel, which houses one of the largest and oldest public art collections in Europe, will become richer in space with the opening of a new extension. The main building (opened 1936) and the Kunstmuseum Basel | Gegenwart (opened 1980), which is sited in close vicinity on the banks of the Rhine, are to be complemented by the new building. Designed by renowned Basel-based architects Christ & Gantenbein, the extension is connected by an underground passageway to the main building across the street.
Architecture
Through many of its elements, the new building cites the rich architectural language of the main building. This is manifested in the monumental stairway with a central circular skylight, the sgraffito in the open areas of the foyer and the staircases. This reference to the historical buildings also reflected in the colour qualities of the brick facade as well as the highly refined details in the materials used.
Despite reverence to the main building, the new extension is also a standalone building, which has its own contemporary architectural language. Its polygonal ground plan comprises a series of well-proportioned rectangular exhibition halls. Particularly impressive are the expansive hallways (around five metres in height) that make up the basement level of the building. The new building blends harmoniously into the heterogeneous structure of the of St. Alban quarter and radiates, quite literally, through the LED frieze woven into the facade, out onto the city.
Inaugural exhibition Sculpture on the Move 1946-2016
With 2.740 square metres of additional space primarily dedicated to the museum’s special exhibitions programme, the new building will mark its opening with the survey Sculpture on the Move 1946-2016, curated by Bernhard Mendes Bürgi.
The exhibition opens with late works by Constantin Brancusi and Alberto Giacometti, two defining artists of the twentieth century, in the skylit galleries that Christ & Gantenbein architects have created on the second floor of the new building.
