Description

The Stedelijk has conceived a unique exhibition concept for this survey: the permanent collection on the museum's ground floor will be enriched with a selection of Henri Matisse's (1868-1854) classic pieces, creating surprising combinations with the work of his contemporaries, teachers, and followers. At the heart of this exhibition is one of the most popular works in the Stedelijk's collection: the monumental paper cut-out The Parakeet and the Mermaid (1952-1953). This iconic artwork is presented alongside other cut-outs by Matisse and rarely-exhibited works in fabric and stained glass inspired by them. Exhibition: Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (27.03. - 16.08.2015).
