You have undoubtedly remarked: the content of Chapter I is completely different from that of Chapter II. In the first one nearly only two-dimentional work and in the second one ceramics and jewelry mostly. That is of course due to the fact that gallery .31 (1957-1962) was another gallery than gallery PUNTGAAF (1984-1995). The aims were not the same, the times were not the same, even the people who were responsible were not the same, that, added to the changed opinions and conceptions about art makes those differences understandable. |

Some facts and data: The second chapter contains 50 pages, 351 images were used, and on 11 pages 135 thumbnails, so there is a lot to look at!! Numbers as such do not mean anything, though it is an indication of the "work" that is done. The change of the chapters take some pages because we do not want to use an -abrupt transition. A soft goodbye to the one and a gentle hallo to the other chapter seems good to us. |

Hereafter than starts Chapter III, a compilation of several kinds of art. Two-dimensional art, jewelry, drawings and spatial work. It is a collection which grew steady in the last ten years and wihich is to be seen as 'apart' from the tho chapters before, however related to the same people: ASTRID VAN DER VLUGT and COR DE NOBEL. They buy art on moments they meet something they like, (and when they can afford it) so what we call 'on impuls'. In that sense they are not 'collectioneurs'. Not planned or delibirate. As said, "do what you like at the moment, keep your freedom". |
