This year it is 150 years since the birth of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, Piet Mondrian (1872-1944). Kunstmuseum Den Haag, whose Mondrian collection, numbering over 300 items, is the largest in the world, cannot let this pass unnoticed. In 2017 the museum showed all the Mondrians in its collection for the first time in a major retrospective. To mark this year’s anniversary, Benno Tempel and curator Caro Verbeek have created an exhibition exploring Mondrian’s inspiring relationships with friends and fellow artists of his time, and his role as a source of inspiration to many artists who came after him.
This work was shown in a room with artist: Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, Donald Judd, Germaine Kruip, Domela, Daan van Golden, Marlow Moss. Also in the echibition Bridget Riley, Fred Sandback, Rob van Koningsbruggen, Bob Bonies, Isa Genzken, Remy Jungerman, David Jablonowski, Robert Zandvliet and Esther Tielemans.
