Un cabinet particulier
Les estampes de la Collection Frits Lugt
The print collection of the Frits Lugt Collection is one of the most beautiful of its kind assembled during the twentieth century. Un cabinet particulier presents for the first time an overview of this rich collection. It shows a selection of more than 85 works, the majority of which has never been shown before, and is organised according to the themes that have guided Frits Lugt (1884-1970) and his successors in assembling the collection.
One of these is that of the engraved portrait, of which a number of rare impressions by Dutch and French masters have been selected. Among the landscapes the Netherlandish School is very well represented with works ranging from Pieter Bruegel the Elder to Jacob van Ruisdael, permitting to follow the evolution of the landscape print. Also shown are selections from the engravings by Lucas van Leyden in the collection, as well as from the etchings by Rembrandt which Lugt managed to assemble nearly completely. The exhibition offers an overview of the art of the print in all its diversity. Among the range of techniques represented special mention must be made of the chiaroscuro woodcut, a complex technique that often makes use of astonishing colours. Finally, a number of 19th and 20th century prints are being shown, notably one of the most beautiful etchings by James McNeill Whistler, Rotherhithe.
The exhibition, the subject of which has been kept secret until its very opening, is organized in honour of Mària van Berge-Gerbaud, director of the Fondation Custodia, who retires in June 2010. It is accompanied by a richly illustrated scientific catalogue in French with an introductory essay by Jan Piet Filedt Kok. Publishing and distribution www.architectura.nl.

Hommage à l’art du dessin. Une sélection de dessins de la Collection Frits Lugt par Paul van der Eerden complété d’un choix de dessins contemporains
Paul van der Eerden, Without title, 1997
Pencil- 297 x 210 mm
Joke Becu collection, Rotterdam
At the invitation of the Institut Néerlandais the Dutch artist Paul van der Eerden assembled a selection of drawings of the Frits Lugt Collection, which he completed with works by international contemporary artist from Dutch collections, and by his own creations.
By this means Paul van der Eerden pays homage to the art of drawing in general, to the Frits Lugt Collection and in particular to its director Mària van Berge-Gerbaud, who steps down from office in May 2010.
His choice led him towards works little known to the large public: a schematic Indian miniature, the backside of a drawing by Hendrick Avercamp, an unorthodox Rembrandt as well as about twenty magnificent drawings of the Italian school, of which several are dated as early as the fifteenth century.
This eleventh exposition-dossier is an unexpected encounter between ancient and contemporary art.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue, with a text by Jonas Storsve, curator of the Drawings department of the Centre Pompidou, and an interview of Paul van der Eerden with Mària van Berge-Gerbaud (Edition Le Passage www.lepassage-editions.fr / www.paulvandereerden.nl).
