Art from Abramović to Zhuang

An auction with some very exceptional works

The catalogue of the 13th edition of NRC Veilingen is now online. One of the highlights is as a keywork in the oeuvre of Louise Bourgeois. An ordinary sheet of grid paper is covered in red ink with the sentence 'Je t'aime' as an imposition of 300 lines. This passionate drawing shows the core themes of Bourgeois' art: dealing with childhood trauma, fear and pain, and trying to fulfil the need for love and belonging. Other remarkable pieces are a watercolour diptych opposing Good Luck & Bad Luck by Marlene Dumas as well as an early masterpiece by Joop Moesman. Also noteworthy are several colourful works by Walasse Ting, three Van Fastenhouts in pristine condition, a 17th century painting with scenes of David and Goliath, two of the earliest works by Carel Willink and an iconic Salvador Dalí piano.
