In the 70s, artist duo Helena and Axel van der Kraan made mechanically movable sculptures. This one was gifted in 2018, and Axel was invited to discuss the work’s condition; and look into the placement of the hands, violin (missing here) and violin bow. Practice makes perfect.
A box, painted light blue, wooden wheels which cannot turn. Realistic and mock accessoires, a car en route with passengers. Could everyone but the driver be Marisol? Her sculpture provides the perfect setting for an investigation of the self.
Marisol
The Car
1964

"As beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella." This quotation from the obscure poetic novel 'Les Chants de Maldoror' (1869) was a favourite of the surrealists.
"Zo hoog als de kunst piekt tijdens de oorlog, zo diep is het dal erna."
In de depotpresentatie 'Kunst tussen de ruïnes', over de Rotterdamse kunstwereld van 1940-45, krijgen vergeten en nog nooit vertoonde werken uit de museumcollectie een podium.

Sarah Lucas was part of the Young British Artist (YBA) artist group. From the beginning of the 90s, she produced furniture that suggested the human body. Lucas' work explores the sexual stereotyping - mainly female - in society.

Hyper-Realism emerged around 1965. Painters began to implement photographic levels of realism. Hanson also adopted this style, with extremely lifelike sculptures wearing real clothing. His work is an ironic reflection of reality.
