In November 2000, Jan van der Vaart, one of the Netherlands' most important ceramic artists, passed away. A pioneer, an innovator, an influential mentor, but above all a gifted designer and producer of functional and autonomous ceramics. His work is very recognizable. Those describing it choose terms like sleek, geometric, architectural. Among his best-known designs are the impressive tulip towers that can be built from separate elements to well over one meter high. In 2025, twenty-five years after his death, his atelier has been made digitally accessible in a 360-degree environment by the Princessehof. In the Kunstmuseum Den Haag there is a large retrospective, and the art book foundation Cometa* presents a special publication.
