Did you already know the name Renée Stotijn? An Amsterdam artist? Probably not. Until a few months ago, her works were not visible, neither to the public nor to acquaintances. Even her daughters had no idea of the extensive collection. When Renée died last year, they did not know what happened to them: they discovered a wealth of works of art in their parental home, each one more special than the other …
Hidden art revealed
For years, hundreds of drawings, pastels, watercolours and oil paintings had been hidden in cupboards, between walls and double ceilings. It is a miracle that the works of art, stacked up and without protection, are so well preserved.
This find is so special that it must be shared! This exhibition is the first physical exhibition of Renée Stotijn's hidden artworks. It is a selection in its purest form: without frills or modifications and affected by the ravages of time.
What you see is what you get
How the art was found in the cabinets is shared with the visitor, who experiences the works of art as they looked when they were lifted from the cabinets. The 'raw' will therefore be central in this exhibition. “What you see is what you get."
The exhibition has been put together by Renée's daughters with many thanks to the Beurs van Berlage, which offers the opportunity to show these works for the first time.
