One of the most innovative contemporary artists, the Dutch sculptor Leo Vroegindeweij (1955) works at the intersection of a formal and conceptual vocabulary. Over the course of his 45-year sculptural practice, his natural tools have come to include uncontrolled circumstances, time, and space, and an ingenious inter-pretation of the notions of scale and measurement in art.
Vroegindeweij is featured in numerous museum collections and displays. In 2015 the Kröller-Müller Museum added his 1992 monumental work to its sculpture park, known to be one of the largest in Europe. And his Apollolaan installation was seen as a pivotal contribution to the Amsterdam sculpture biennale ARTZUID 2017, curated by Rudi Fuchs, former director of the Stedelijk Museum. Winner of the 1985 Prix de Rome, Vroegindeweij was associated with the distinguished avant-garde gallery Art & Project and has since played a prominent role in curated and institutional surveys of Dutch art. Vroegindeweij lives and works in Amsterdam and in Méligny-le-Grand, FR.
