Fotografie Nu
Printed on the occasion of an exhibition at the Nederland Fotomuseum, this large-format pamphlet includes detailed overviews of work by the seventeen participating artists, together with engaging critique and analysis. Presented as an overview of photography in the Netherlands today, its focus is largely on a new generation of image makers who are distinguished by their investigative attitude. Its goal is to give an impression of the various positions in the current landscape of this artistic vanguard, including the role of the Web as a subject of research and reflection. With work by Gwenneth Boelens, Anne Geene, Stephan Keppel, Ola Lanko, Sjoerd Knibbeler, and others.00Exhibition: Nederlands Fotomuseum, Rotterdam, The Netherlands (23.01.-08.05.2016).
Aldo Van Eyck
Robert McCarter provides a comprehensive study of Aldo van Eyck's 50-year career, guiding readers through the architect's buildings and unrealised projects, with a focus on the interior spatial experience as well as the design and construction processes. He investigates how van Eyck's writings and lectures convey the importance of architecture in the everyday lives of people around the world and throughout history, and by presenting the architect's design work together with the principles on which it was founded, illuminates van Eyck's ethical interpretation of architecture's place in the world.
A Critical History of Photography in the Netherlands
The themes of the Dutch Eyes exhibition were chosen for their significance to the history of photography as well as to the country's cultural history. Areas of particular interest include distinctive 19th-century photographs taken by engineers, the debate about photography's status as an art form at the start of the 20th century, the catastrophic flood in 1953, the former colonies, and \U+2018\the self-critical gaze'. This thematic approach makes it possible to see work by famous photographers alongside work by unknown figures who wielded the camera. The exhibition includes an abundance of work that has never previously been shown, from collections including those of the Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Leiden University's Print Room, Amsterdam City Archives and the Nederlands Fotomuseum.
Gallery of Honour of Dutch Photography
This book is comprised of almost 100 photographs, each remarkably special in terms of artistic, aesthetic, and social qualities. Together the images tell the story of 180 years of photography in the Netherlands and its colonies, from 19th-century daguerreotypes to contemporary works by Rineke Dijkstra, Dustin Thierry, Bertien van Manen, Dana Lixenberg, Lee To Sang, and more. Compiled for the Nederlands Fotomuseum by a committee of five experts, the selected images display the richness of the work of photographers who explore the borders of the medium and are unafraid to challenge them. Encompassing numerous narratives, the photographs also show how radically the technology and sociocultural function of photography has evolved.00Exhibition: Nederlands Fotomuseum, Rotterdam, The Netherlands (postponed).

De laatste Vermeer
De zaak van de beruchte kunstvervalser Han van Meegeren fascineert nog altijd. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd hij opgepakt omdat hij een schilderij van Johannes Vermeer aan Hermann Goering zou hebben verkocht. In de gevangenis beweerde Van Meegeren dat hij dat doek zelf had geschilderd. Hij had Goering voor een gigantisch bedrag bedrogen en hij was dus geen collaborateur: hij had eigenlijk een verzetsdaad gepleegd. En die valse Vermeer was de enige niet, bekende Van Meegeren: ook de beroemde Emmaüsgangers, in 1937 gekocht door Museum Boijmans, was van zijn hand. Het was een fantastisch verhaal en het maakte het proces-Van Meegeren tot een ware mediasensatie, maar het was van A tot Z gelogen...

Het winkellandschap van Amsterdam
Overhangende luifels, uithangborden, uitstallingen op de stoep en sobere interieurs waren ooit typerend voor de winkels in Amsterdam. Vanaf het midden van de zestiende eeuw hebben de puien, etalages en interieurs van de winkels echter grote veranderingen ondergaan. Clé Lesger beschrijft deze in samenhang met ontwikkelingen in bouwkunde en architectuur, de opkomst van warenhuizen en supermarkten en veranderingen in verlichting en glasfabricage. Ook de samenstelling, koopkracht en smaak van het winkelend publiek spelen een rol. De vele afbeeldingen maken de veranderingen zichtbaar. Daarnaast besteedt Lesger veel aandacht aan de locatie van winkels. Winkels zijn niet willekeurig verdeeld over de stad, maar verbonden met de structuur van het stratennetwerk die is ontstaan tijdens stadsuitbreidingen en andere grote ingrepen in het stedelijk landschap. Pas toen er winkelcentra werden gebouwd in buitenwijken, werd het patroon van winkelstraten doorbroken. In de vooroorlogse delen van Amsterdam is het oude bewinkelingspatroon wel blijven bestaan.
