Description

The exhibition examines the roots of the Gothic, which reach down into traditional European art history as well as alternative and popular culture. Visitors will discover a rich survey of objects and art from collections including those of the Kröller-Müller Museum, the Musée d'Orsay, the Hamburger Kunsthalle and the Royal Institute of British Architects. The works on display vary from design drawings by Pierre Cuypers and objects by A.W.N. Pugin to furniture by André Lassen and H.R. Giger; prints by Odilon Redon and Félicien Rops to the photographs of Nona Limmen; from nineteenth-century mourning jewellery to the couture of Linda Friesen and Marjolein Turin; and sculptures by Sarah Bernhardt and Emmanuel Frémiet to the contemporary art and design of Sruli Recht, Carolein Smit and Cindy Wright. Exhibition: Design Museum Den Bosch, 's Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands
