AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
** NO RESERVE **
Rik van Bentum 1936–1994
Dutch pop art
Unfortunately, the work does not photograph well through the glass.
Visible size 39 cm by 59 cm, incorrect, in very good condition.
Including a silver wooden frame with minor signs of use.
Sculptor, screen printer, graphic designer, illustrator, painter, draftsman, designer, university lecturer, and academy instructor has given guest lectures in America and taught at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.
Period in America: America 1964 - 1967, Fine-art docent.
Jan van der Marck, former conservator of the Arnhem municipal museum, has been following Rik van Bentum's developments from the beginning. He knows how to enthuse American gallery owners and art lovers about this Dutch painter. Van Bentum is invited by a New York gallery, which results in guest lectures at several universities and some solo exhibitions in America.
He returns to Amsterdam in 1966.
In the sixties, Rik van Bentum was inspired by the mundane when painting, a characteristic of the modern cityscape. Through his stay in America, he was introduced to pop art. This is reflected in his artworks through the use of advertising symbols. In his collage paintings from 1963, the brands 'Martini' and 'Rivella' are incorporated. Furthermore, numbers and letters are important visual elements in Rik van Bentum's work.
Work is carefully packaged and shipped internationally by registered mail.
