Loes van der Horst 90th anniversary

Kroller-Muller Museum, Otterlo

In honour of the 90th birthday of Loes van der Horst on 11 December 2009, the Kröller-Müller Museum is showing drawings from the collection and two sculptures.

After completing her studies at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna and the Koninklijke Academie in The Hague, Loes van der Horst was initially active as a painter and draughtswoman and from 1959 as a weaver. Since the early nineteen seventies she has been making three-dimensional work with a constructional character, whereby the internal tension of the piece combined with its location leads to an intensification of the experience of the space. By stretching lines and surfaces across the space, she steers the eye and offers a helping hand in a personal exploration of the space. This aspect comes to the fore in a much freer form in her drawings.

In the drawings presented, different examples of her approach can be found: lines that dissect the space, small surfaces that balance in a diffuse space, three-dimensional structures and vast landscapes. The display case contains sketches for projects, which are on loan from Loes van der Horst for this occasion. The two sculptures are fine examples of the seemingly nonchalant way in which she manipulates material and space.
