Bram Bogart for “de MORIAAN”

Schermafbeelding 2021-05-26 om 11.18.40

The year 1969. The exhibition ” Bram Bogart”…location de Moriaan in Den Bosch.

This exhibition was held far before Bogart rose to world fame with his thick and impressive colorful paintings. The ineteresting thing is this poster, an original silkscreen probably printed by Bogart himself to save on exhibition costs, shows the direction his work was going in to.

A colorfield in the middle and along the edge another bright color which enhances the composition. I love this poster and since it is an original silkscreen i must recommend this to any serious Bogart collector. The print is now available at www.ftn-books.com

Lotti van der Gaag, Kees van Bohemen & Bram Bogart

lotti bohemen b

Three famous names in the dutch and Belgian art scene, but never named in relation to each other except for this one occasion in 1956. In March/April of this year these 3 artists were presented in an exhibition at the “galerie Colette Allendy” in Paris. Lotti van der Gaag and Kees van Bohemen knew each other from Den Haag , but Bram Bogart had left Delft/Den Haag years before and was at that time working and living in Paris. In 1960 he would return to Brussels , but in 1956 they met and were exhibiting at this little known Parisian galerie. I want to share this rare item i have on this exhibition and which is now for sale at www.ftn-books.com. It is a leporello like folder with 6 small pages and portraits of the artists. This is a truly scarce item and for collectors a one time only offering.
