Full Description
Volume 65 of the NKJ is devoted to the display of art within the visual culture of the Netherlands. The volume contains articles that examine and conceptualize the history, meaning and techniques of exhibiting works of art in the Low Countries from the early modern period to the present. The focus is not on the artwork but on how it is presented, on its intended context and, particularly, on how the relation between the work of art and its surrounding space manifests itself in various meaningful ways.
