Daniel Buren | Le Décor et son Double

For the Chambres d’Amis exhibition in 1986, the French artist Daniel Buren applied his familiar banded motif to the guest room in the house of the art collectors Annick and Anton Herbert. He also installed a copy of the room in the museum at the time. This public half of Le Décor et son Double is now being shown again for the first time and is also being incorporated into the S.M.A.K. collection.

Save An Artwork

Wood Circle by Richard Long
Richard Long went on trips through nature in various countries in the world. He left traces in the landscape, often in geometrical patterns which he then photographed. Since the late 1970s he has constructed geometric forms in the museum with materials taken from nature. Wood circle is one of the earliest and purest examples of these forms. All the other later works, including those in the Van Abbemuseum, were a result of these ideas. Together with other works, wood circle forms a sort of mirror of our (collective) past.

Gustav Klimt, Seeufer mit Birken

Ein Ehepaar aus Holland kaufte in 1902 ein Landschaftsgemälde von Gustav Klimt. Keiner wusste um dessen Existenz Nun tauchte es wieder auf: Klimt-Experte Alfred Weidinger spricht von einer Sensation.




Die Infrarot-Aufnahme des Malgrundes offenbart die Vorzeichnung.
