Photographs. Works dating from the 1970s onwards, and the new series "Double Prints"
The artist was born in Rotterdam in 1936 and studied at the Rotterdam Academy of the Fine Arts and Technical Sciences, where he specialised in painting and drawing. He lives and works in Schiedam in the Netherlands. An overview of his oeuvre was shown at the Camden Arts Centre in London in 2009 and was later on show in Geneva and Lisbon. The Wiels Contemporary Art Centre in Brussels also mounted a large retrospective exhibition of his work in 2012. We are delighted to be holding the first gallery exhibition by Daan van Golden in Switzerland. This exhibition consists both of works dating from the 1970s onwards, and the new series "Double Prints", photographs combining earlier works that link his paintings of grids, patterns and organic forms from the 1960s and 70s with the silhouette-like images from series such as "Heerenlux". These small -to medium- sized photographs forge a link between van Golden's early years and today. Complemented by photographs from the series "Youth is an Art", taken of his daughter over the course of the years, the whole exhibition becomes a kind of summary of his artistic interests and his views of the world of everyday life and the world of art - his aim having always been to unite these. The opening is on Thursday, 17 January, 6 - 8 pm.
