MUSEUM
Description
The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam is the most important museum of modern and contemporary art and design in the Netherlands, and an absolute must-see. The spectacular building is a modern icon on the Museumplein and houses one of the most talked-about collections in the world, which includes 90,000 objects, from 1870 until the present.
The Stedelijke Base Collection
Stedelijke Base is the permanent exhibition of highlights from the collection of Stedelijk Museum; it shows the developments in art and design from 1880 to the present. The display covers the museum’s entire new wing and shows a selection of nearly 700 works, organized on the basis of historical movements, social themes and influential artists, including Kazimir Malevich, Piet Mondriaan, Vincent van Gogh, Gerrit Rietveld, Marlene Dumas, Jeff Koons, Willem de Kooning, Nola Hatterman, Pablo Picasso, Barnett Newman, Karel Appel, Yves Klein, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring and Yayoi Kusama. Well-known movements such as Bauhaus, De Stijl, The Amsterdam School, CoBrA and Pop Art are represented in a mixture of art and design. STEDELIJK BASE is a perfect introduction to the history of modern art and design.
In Stedelijk Base, design and fine art are exhibited integrally on a large scale for the first time ever in the museum’s history. All media are regarded as equally important, and presented in dialogue with each other. The result is an eclectic mix of paintings, furniture, jewelry, sculpture, everyday objects, accessories, photography, drawings, installations, video art, posters, and interiors.
