In & Out of Amsterdam
During the 1960s & 1970s, Amsterdam was a nexus of intense art activities, drawing artists from all over the world. 'In & Out Of Amsterdam' presents more than 120 works - including works on paper, installations, photographs & films - by artists who were part of this remarkable creative culture.
Intensely Dutch
Uncompromising, confronting, optimistic after the SecondWorldWar a new young generation of Dutch artists took to modernity as never before. For them it was a time of renewal. Bright colour, impasto and vigorous handling were features of their work. This catalogue is published to accompany the exhibition presenting the work of some of the most important Dutch artists of the post-war period, including those associated with CoBrA (Karel Appel, Constant, Corneille and Lucebert) and art informel (JaapWagemaker, Jan J Schoonhoven and Bram Bogart) and those who preceded them, like Bram van Velde andWillem de Kooning, whose work found international favour after theWar. The exhibition will provide a rare first-hand introduction to modern Dutch art, incorporating the collaborations that many artists had with Dutch poets (Bert Schierbeek, Jan G Elburg, Simon Vinkenoog).
Beyond the Dutch
"Beyond the Dutch" gives a colourful picture of that struggle. Leading artists, curators and historians from Indonesia and the Netherlands have pored over a series of questions posed by the history of art in the Dutch East Indies/Indonesia. What was and still is Dutch about Indonesian art? What relationship does it have with Western techniques and views on art? How does contemporary art in Indonesia and the Netherlands allow for the links between the two countries? And how do we actually perceive Indonesian art? The book takes three cross-sections through fine art in the Dutch East Indies/Indonesia: the colonial period around 1900, decolonisation and independence around 1950, and the current, post-colonial period around 2000. Only by taking a detailed look at these three pivotal moments can a clear picture be obtained of the turbulent development of art in Indonesia.
Still-life Paintings from the Netherlands, 1550-1720
This stunning book presents the very best still lifes produced in the Netherlands at the height of the genre, from the early beginnings in the 16th century, with Pieter Aertsen and Joachim Beuckelaer, to the late highlights in the 18th century, with Rachel Ruysch and Jan van Huysum. Despite the popularity and abundance of flower paintings in modern collections, the book includes a wide range of subjects and styles, from the simple to the complex, the charmingly small to the opulent and extravagant, and from flowers to hunting still lifes or objects in the corner of a painter's studio, along with an occasional trompe l'oeil. The visual delights of still-life painting have a strong historical ...

The Amsterdam gallery Art & Project (1968-2001) was pivotal to the development of contemporary art in the Netherlands and beyond for more than 33 years.

Citizens and Subjects
The state of the Netherlands as an example of the contemporary western condition. The ideological vacuum created by the collapse of the bipolar world in 1989 was not filled by any new emancipatory political imaginary. Instead, the demands of 'national security', the normalization of violence and the maintenance of high levels of fear and anxiety have become part of daily life in nations of the West. How can art and artists react to these changes and what possibilities can they create to see sings differently? Contributions by artists, philosophers and social scientists in the Netherlands.
