Best of Boijmans
Did you know that Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen was the first public art institution in the Netherlands to acquire a painting by Vincent Van Gogh for its collection? And that 20,562 litres of water are needed for Olafur Eliasson's installation 'Notion motion'? Or that Gerard Reve once sent an admiring letter to the museum about Geertgen tot Sint Jans's small panel 'The Glorification of the Virgin'? These and many more fascinating facts can be found in a lavishly illustrated publication featuring more than a hundred and fifty highlights from the collection.00For over a hundred and seventy years, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen has been building up a very varied collection of art and design from...

The Essential Potness
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is exhibiting ceramics in the Klaverblad made by the potters Lucie Rie (1902-1995) and Hans Coper (1920-1981). The museum owns thirty-seven pieces by Rie and twenty-six by Coper. They will be on display for six months. In 1967 former curator Dorris Kuyken-Schneider invited these two potters to Rotterdam for the first time to give a combined presentation. Since then the work of both these artists has become part of many elite museum and private collections all over the world.0Lucie Rie and Hans Coper are considered to have been the most eminent British potters of the second half of the twentieth century. Yet neither was born in the United Kingdom. Both fled from the growing menace of the Nazi regime at the end of the nineteen-thirties. Lucie Rie was a fully qualified and accomplished ceramicist when she emigrated from Vienna to London in 1938. In 1939 Hans Coper was a young man of 19 when he fled Germany, where he was born. His career as a potter started in 1946 as an assistant to Lucie Rie. It was the start of close friendship and cooperation.0Exhibition: Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam, the Netherlands (8.2.-21.9.2014).
Design Derby
In the summer of 2015, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen will be staging a retrospective of Dutch and Belgian design over the past 200 years. Four hundred objects will be on show from the two neighbouring countries, varying from silver, glass, ceramics and posters to furniture, fashion and cars. The catalogue is organized by eight historical and theoretical themes, with examples of objects that will also be on show in the exhibition, and which are being discussed in depth by Belgian and Dutch authors. Exhibition: Museum Boijmans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam, The Netherlands (13.06. - 13.09.2015) / Design Museum, Ghent, Belgium (23.10.2015 - 14.02.2016).
Nobson
This summer Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen will exhibit Paul Noble's Nobson Newtown, an ever-growing cosmopolis on which the artist has worked for eighteen years. The vast drawings and other artworks that make up Nobson Newtown are spread across major museums and private collections worldwide, and will be brought together in the museum's 1500m2 Bodon Galleries for the most comprehensive survey of Noble's project to date. Paul Noble's (1963, UK) metropolis takes form through detailed and gigantic pencil drawings, sculptures, video and other objects. The Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen purchased two works by Noble in 2004, and now 10 years later the museum is excited to be gathering the largest e...
Dutch Art Nouveau and Art Deco Ceramics
The current fascination with early twentieth-century design makes this exploration of Art Deco and Art Nouveau ceramics from the Netherlands both exciting and timely. Encompassing earthenware, porcelain and stoneware products produced between circa 1890 and 1940, the objects presented here range from hand-crafted artisanal works to factory-made vases, bowls, and dinner and tea services. Complementary texts outline the development and history of the vast ceramics collection of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, from which these objects are drawn, and compare ceramics from the Netherlands with those from other European countries and North America. The history of the ceramics factory is discussed alongside the oeuvre of artisan potters. This catalogue is the first in a series devoted to the museum's ceramics collection, which contains a wide time-span of objects from the four corners of the world.
