With the exhibition entitled Ik hou van Holland. Nederlandse kunst na 1945 (I Love Holland. Dutch post-war art), the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam will present a comprehensive overview of post-war Dutch art. An overview of this quality, magnitude and depth has never been shown in the Netherlands. It displays the developments in Dutch contemporary art, and links these to developments in society.
Artists are often the first to observe and reflect on what is going on in the world, and this exhibition makes this evident. The overview presents more than a hundred artworks by more than sixty artists who have had a major influence on art between 1945 and the present day. On 21 September, the exhibition will open with a nostalgic dance party in the style of the (post-)war years 1940 and 1950.
I Love Holland. Dutch post-war art reveals that many taboos in both art and society were demolished in this period, and new norms championed: the freedom that followed the Second World War was mirrored in art and society. An exceptional aspect of this unique overview is that art is shown in relation to recognizable social, political and economic events in Dutch society. An approach that wishes to draw art out of its ivory tower, to an extent not previously seen in the Netherlands (Rutger Pontzen in de Volkskrant, 30 August 2013).
