ARTS HOLLAND MAGAZINE ARTS HOLLAND MAGAZINE
In a strong collectors’ climate a good many individuals purchase from national and international artists, galleries and art fairs. Its a market that is constantly expanding. The enthusiasm within Dutch society to collect art is cultivated by organizations such as My First Art Collection. Workshops, symposia, con-ferences and courses are dedicated to the edi!cation of collectors with the aim of encouraging their active participation in the art world. Greater participation by private individuals in the art market makes art more accessible and attractive to a wider group of art lovers.
This is a portrait of !ve equally passionate art collectors. Danielle van Ark took on the challenging task of capturing the heart of each collection in a series of portraits. Instead of portraits of collectors simply adorned by beautiful pieces of art in the background, these portraits are of the collections themselves; the house in which they are held is merely décor.
While some art collectors seek to create an eclectic selection of works, others show a strong preference for a speci!c disci-pline. One might collect predominantly photography while another concentrates on Dutch arts. The one thing the collec-tions have in common is that each and every Dutch private collection originates in a passion for art.
The presentation of, and approach to, each collection symbolizes the di"erence between it and all others and illustrates the collector’s individual passion. Where the constantly changing, almost museum-like, presentation might give one collector great satisfaction, another may !nd ful-!lment in a chaotic set-up where every available meter of wall space is covered. Regardless of how each individual handles his or her collection, none of them has made a conscious choice to collect art; it is simply a way of life.
Arts Holland Magazine visited !ve Dutch art collectors and asked them about their passion for arts and what triggered them to start collecting.
HOME IS WHERE THE ART IS
—The vibrancy of its private art collections is not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the Dutch art world. Art critic Renée Steenbergen has written that contrary to the general impression, Holland has many noteworthy art collectors.

Across 1,200 events a year, ranging from classical concerts to the International Film Festival, De Doelen in Rotterdam welcomes over half a million visitors a year. This giant complex right beside Rotterdam Central Station also hosts conventions and business events. The history of De Doelen goes back to the Seventeenth Century when the !rst concerts were held here by local musicians. The Great Hall is the biggest in the country and was refurbished in 2009 by Kraaijvanger Urbis Architects (now called Kraaijvanger). De Doelen is also famously the home of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra.
‘I’ve been working here for twelve years and still I love it. I started as a sound technician, but over the years I’ve got to know all the technical aspects of running this place. Now I’m more involved in the business side, the organization and meeting guests and artists. One of my per-sonal highlights was meeting U2’s Bono. That was pretty special. The wonderful thing is that you don’t just get to meet these great people, but actually to work with them too. If it was up to me, I’d like to invite Phil Collins to De Doelen. I’d love to work with him.’

Twenty-eight-year-old Iris van Herpen takes craftsmanship to another level. Her innovative silhouettes, experimen tal in form and function, represent the digit-al revolution—the transition from the world before. The making of her leather dresses, knotted by hand, is particularly labour-intensive and she has introduced ornamentation created using a 3D printer. Her sculptures are the result of a time-consuming practice, of continually re!ecting on what has been and, more impor-
tantly, on what is yet to come.
Twin sisters Truus and Riet Spijkers make fashion as structured as the Dutch landscape. Distinct colour pallets and linearity characterize their style. The mod-ernism of the 1920s is an important source of inspiration, translating into no-non-sense dresses that refer to triangles or squares. And, signi"cantly, their designs are
suited to a bike ride around town.

Rotterdam Maarten van Heemskerck at the Museum Boijmans
By FRANKLIN EINSPRUCH | March 16, 2012
MAARTEN VAN HEEMSKERCK IS NO LONGER
considered a major painter, but his exhibition at the Museum
Boijmans in Rotterdam displays the mechanisms by which an
assuredly major painter, Michelangelo, made his presence felt
across Europe.
Van Heemskerck voyaged from
Haarlem to Rome in 1532 and
stayed for four or five years. During
that time he developed a lifelong
fascination with the Colosseum,
which in his time had a grove
sprouting from its top echelon. He
also drew from the Sistine Ceiling.
Michelangelo captivated him just as
Greek sculpture captivated
Michelangelo, and he spent the rest
of his career inventing ways to
insert heroically muscled figures into fantasias of ruined
architecture.
Van Heemskerck's technique in pen and sepia wanted for nothing
except, perhaps, originality. Most of his drawings are in a portfolio
