"Kabinet Overholland - Jean Dubuffet"
2001-06-30 until 2001-08-26
Stedelijk Museum
Amsterdam, ,
NL
Sixty drawings, watercolours, gouaches and collages
from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art are at
the heart of the exhibition Jean Dubuffet. These works
have never previously been seen outside America. They
afford a profile of the high points in the oeuvre of the
French artist Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985). At the same
time a selection of his graphics and artist's books from
the Stedelijk's own collection will be shown.
The
presentation is supplemented by 14 paintings and a
sculpture, and with work by his contemporaries from the
École de Paris.
The 60 works on paper from the MoMA collection show
his experiments with a graffiti-like style, with chance
techniques and -- principally after 1960 -- with primary
colours and abstract patterns. The supplementary works
from the Stedelijk -- his paintings, graphics and books --
make the whole a unique survey of his oeuvre, both with
regard to his pictural views and his experiments. The
exhibitons runs through August 26, 2001.
