To mark its 10th anniversary this September, Voorlinden is presenting an exceptional and celebratory exhibition: Celebrating the Icons of Art. Contemporary icons from the museum’s collection are presented alongside masterpieces of 20th-century art. In this encounter, familiar works take on unexpected new meanings and surprising connections emerge. For the first time in its history, the entire museum will be transformed for this special anniversary exhibition.
Some works of art stay with you forever. They are etched into your memory, never cease to surprise, move and inspire, and even take root in the collective memory. In Celebrating the Icons of Art, these kinds of 20th-century masterpieces are brought together with contemporary highlights from the Voorlinden collection. In the exhibition, you’ll discover how artists build on the work of those who came before them, how ideas travel through time and take on new forms time and again. Art history thus emerges not as a fixed narrative, but as a vibrant exchange between past and present, a network of influences, references and new insights.
