From September 2011, Mondrian & De Stijl will have a permanent home base in the Netherlands, at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. Besides Rembrandt and Van Gogh, the work of De Stijl is the only art form to be included in the Canon of Dutch History.
Spanning nearly five decades, and coinciding with the artist's 80th birthday, Gerhard Richter: Panorama is a major retrospective organized by Tate Modern (London, United Kingdom) that groups together significant moments of his remarkable career.
Mondrian & De Stijl have, from September, a permanent home base in the Netherlands with the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag dedicating an entire 750m2 wing to the artist and the movement. Hans Janssen, chief curator of the museum, explains the project in detail.
On June 12, 2012, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza (Madrid, Spain) will present the exhibition 'Edward Hopper', to be shown first in Madrid then in Paris. It will bring together the largest and most ambitious selection of works by the US artist ever to be shown in Europe.
Spaniards visit an average of three exhibitions per year, buy gifts in the museum shops and acquire realistic paintings, landscapes and abstract Art below 1,500 euros. Those are the main findings of the survey on consumption of Art carried out by Artelista during the first semester of 2011.
