Masterpieces of Dutch portrait photography shown in old frames from the Frits Lugt Collection
La Fondation Custodia and the Institut Néerlandais have invited the gallery owner and exhibition organiser Willem van Zoetendaal to make a selection from the thousand or so old frames from the Frits Lugt Collection.
Van Zoetendaal has also chosen a selection from the great contemporary Dutch portrait photographers such as Rineke Dijkstra, Céline van Balen, Bertien van Manen and Koos Breukel.
Their work will be presented in the selected frames. The exhibition gives the public a new insight into old frames and contemporary portrait photography, thus creating a fascinating dialogue between the present and the past.
A catalogue accompanies the exhibition. Wigger Bierma is responsible for the visual design of the exhibition and Willem van Zoetendaal, Esther Scholten and Rob van Zoest from the Bureau d’Arts have compiled the explanatory notes.
The exhibition will move to the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem after it leaves Paris.
