Yves Klein and his artist family: Fred, Marie and Rotraut
, Borgerhoff & Lamberigts, 2026 Paperback, 148 pages, Illustrated. English. *new. ISBN 9789493491366.
For the first time, this exhibition brings together the works of the Klein family, featuring Yves Klein (1928-1962), his parents Fred Klein (1898-1990) and Marie Raymond (1908-1988), and his wife Rotraut Uecker (1938). While Yves Klein is celebrated worldwide for his iconic monochrome paintings, many are unaware that his family members were also accomplished artists. The exhibition not only highlights the artistic dialogue within the family but also their ties to the Netherlands, particularly to Schiedam, which houses the largest collection of works by Fred Klein (in Dutch known as Frits Klein).
From nul to zero Henk Peeters.
, Paper Kunsthalle , 2017 Paperback, 230x230mm, 220p, English edition Illustrated. ISBN 9789492321589.
Henk Peeters ( 1925, The Hague) was considered one of the most active members of the Dutch NUL movement. Together with other Dutch artists such as Jan Schoonhoven, Armando and Jan Hendrikse, he formed NUL in the 1960?s, which later joined the international movement ZERO. As a result of growing international contacts, Peeters initiated ?Zero on Sea?, an art manifestation in the summer of 1965 on a pier in Scheveningen, including about 50 likeminded artists from over ten countries. Peeters? work is closely inspired by daily life and natural phenomena. By using mass-produced clinical materials such as nylon and plastic and assimilating them through processes like fire, ice, snow and mist, he aims to reinitiate the viewer?s consciousness towards his environment. The artistic practice of Henk Peeters was known for its diversity in material and technique, going from burned canvasses to readymades bought in chainstores. Often these objects show a strong duality between being both tactile and untouchable. As the artist once said: ?with my work, I have always wanted it to look just as fresh as if it was in the HEMA (the Dutch chain store). It must not be artified... I had no need for artistic cotton wool.?
