Opening Galerieseizoen

Grounding this exhibition is the anniversary reprint of the catalogue published by TMH for the Jan Schoonhoven / Henk Peeters exhibition in its first season (2013/14). Now, we return to a selection of works from this highlight of our program, including an extraordinary group of Schoonhoven’s drawings that Peeters collected under the title “21 of the Most Beautiful Drawings” and several masterworks from Peeters’s hand. As Marsha Plotnitsky, Founding Artistic Director of TMH, writes in the catalogue that opens our new series of publications Consequences I-V: 

Jan Schoonhoven (1914-1994) and Henk Peeters (1925-2013) were the founding members of the NUL group—a 1960s collective of Dutch artists that played a key role in the international ZERO movement. […] It became clear in hindsight that the project, the exhibition and catalogue [on Schoonhoven and Peeters], played a crucial role in identifying the patterns of the TMH program—of intended and unexpected consequences.
