Van abstract schilder naar beeldhouwer-constructivist.00The radical transformation from lyrical abstract painter to constructivist sculptor that André Volten achieved between 1950 and 1965 in his quest for the absolute in sculpture is explored in detail for the first time in this book. The discovery of 61 paintings stored away in the attic of his studio home in Amsterdam North which, with few exceptions, had not been seen for the past sixty years, came as a complete surprise even to those familiar with Volten?s work.00Exhibition: Atelier Volten, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (10.04.-09.2022).
An art collector who was a patient at the Amsterdam Medical Center once expressed his gratitude with a donation of several works of art, the seed for the extraordinary modern art collection that now flourishes at the Amsterdam Medical Center. Since it began seriously cultivating its art collection in the 1980s, the Center has amassed approximately 5,000 works by Dutch and Dutch-resident artists. The Amsterdam Medical Center Art Book is an extraordinary showcase of the Center’s rich and diverse collection, which focuses on Dutch art from the 1950s through the 1970s. The book highlights several stunning examples within the collection of such benchmark art movements as CoBrA, Mixed Media Art, Zero Art, and New Figuration. Other fascinating pieces featured in the book were created by artists-in-residence, who were allowed to draw from live scenes in the Center’s operating theater and maternity ward. This volume ultimately presents a fascinating survey of Dutch post-war art, with over 100 vibrant color illustrations that include works by Eugene Brands, Karel Appel, Constant, Marc Mulders, Roy Villevoye, and Marlene Dumas.
Dutch sculptor Andr Volten (1925-2002), best known for his monumental works in stainless steel, spent the large part of his career producing commissioned public works--in the process working closely with government bodies, architects and urban planners.
