Conceptual Art 1965–1975 from Dutch and Belgian Collections
Bruce Nauman, My name as Though It Were Written on the Surface of the Moon, 1968.
Reconstructing the history of Conceptual art in the Netherlands and Belgium from the mid-’60s to the ’70s requires documenting—and unraveling—a wide-ranging network of artists, dealers, curators, and collectors. “It was an extremely inspiring time,” Wim Beeren, curator of the groundbreaking 1969 exhibition “Op Losse Schroeven” has said, “because there really was talk of a revolution.” “Conceptual Art 1965–1975” addresses the intersections and the particular direction this work took in the two countries, including art by Bas Jan Ader, Marcel Broodthaers, Stanley Brouwn, Jan Dibbets, and Ger van Elk among an international cast.
