De collectie: The collection

Abstract

"The start of a collection. This catalogue has been compiled on De Pont's fifth anniversary and offers the first complete survey of our collecting activities. The intention of this book is more or less the same as that of our initial publication, which accompanied our opening exhibition of September 1992. With each of the artists, now ordered alphabetically, a list of works included in the collection is provided, and this is followed by a brief introductory text with illustrations of one or several works. At the back of the book is a listing of long-term loans that have been granted to use over the years and a chronological survey of events and activities since 1987, the year of Jan de Pont's death. Partly on the basis of the accessions, which have been arranged by the year of acquisition in this survey, one can form an idea of the course that we have taken over these years. It is our intention to produce a supplement to this publication every five years"--Hendrik Driessen, preface (page 21).
