Bernice Nauta, Hello Echo; 1646, The Hague

I visited 1646  to write a review about Bernice Nauta’s (1991) present exhibition for Villa La Repubblica. Click here to read the review (in Dutch).

I leave you here with a few aspects of the exhibition without comments, as i’ve written already extensively about the show in VLR; and, of course, with the strong recommendation to go and see the show for yourself.

Façades of The Hague #99

Statue by Kees Verkade (1941) of Louis Couperus (1863-1923), Lange Voorhout, made in 1998.

Verkade is a prolific sculptor of the human figure.

Couperus is arguably the most important Dutch novelist of the Fin de Siècle and the period before WWI.

He was a sensitive stylist whose most important titles have been translated into English.

AS FAR AS I AM SOMETHING,

…, I AM A HAGUER

A real dandy, Couperus loved a stroll in Lange Voorhout, in his day the most distinguished street of the Netherlands.

Closure of Hoorn & Reniers Gallery

Casper Verborg

Hoorn & Reniers gallery has closed its doors.

Kevin A. Rausch

Although the reasons for its closure are understandable, the fact itself is disturbing as it is not the first high quality art gallery in The Hague that ceases to exist. During the last few years Twelve Twelve Gallery, A Gallery Named Sue and Galerie Nouvelles Images also stopped, which is quite a loss for the extremely important diversity of what this city has on offer artistically.

Peter Feiler

Of course i wish all the former gallerists the best and i still hope to see more of the works by the artists they represented but the artistic impoverishment is quite saddening. As for Hoorn & Reniers: it represented quite young artists, especially painters both Dutch and from the German speaking countries, which was an enormous enrichment of the international scope of The Hague.

Peter Feiler

What remains is to be very grateful for what the gentlemen presented in their gallery.
