Happy New Year…and a healthy 2021

Dear Reader,

Thanks for your interest in this continuing daily blog. It has been been a year filled with changes and I truly hope next year will be a more normal year and of course a healthy one for you and all your loved ones.

What way to have a better start of the blogs remembering the New Years wishes Willem Sandberg made during his directorship at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

Each year until the early Sixties he made a yearly New Years wish for the Stedelijk Museum. Recognizable, highly original and in a way only Sandberg could design and make them. I encountered these New Years wishes in a biography which was published in 2004 and written by Ank Leeuw Marcar. In the centre of the book all Sandberg New Years Wishes are assembled. ( available at www.ftn-books.com).

To finish ….My best wishes for you and your loved ones and have a wonderful 2021.

Since my latest blog on Julia Ventura i took a personal interest in her works and acquired some more nice publications for my personal library. Among them there is the Museu Serralves publication which was published in cooperation with the Kroller Muller Museum. It is a true Retrospective p book which covers works from 1982 until 2003. I have put it on my shelf until i recently discovered another copy on my local bookmarket. I bought this too and concluded once again that Ventura her art is very personal indeed and of the highest quality. From now on i will be on the look out for any of her works that will appear at auction. From this moment i will offer this second copy at www.ftn-books.com. I truly can recommend this one.
