Dutch artist Jacqueline de Jong‘s (* 1939) drawings are related to her Upstairs-Downstairs paintings from the mid 1980‘s, a series of works made for the interior spaces of the new city hall in Amsterdam. The building had caused such controversy that it took over 60 years to come to fruition, but the final design by Wilhelm Holzbauer and Cees Dam was met with much acclaim, and City Hall was finally opened in 1988. De Jong was particularly interested by the central stairways and lobbies of this postmodern building, and subsequently made 27 paintings in response to these specific areas. The works remained in situ until parts of the building were demolished in 2017, after which they were acquired by the Amsterdam Museum. Unlike their painting counterparts, the works on paper have remained removed from the public eye and in the artist’s own collection since inception.
