José Heerkens. Colour – Free and connected

José Heerkens. Colour – Free and connected is the third exhibition in the series With paint in the Kröller-Müller Museum. The exhibition is accompanied by a publication with the same title that brings together over thirty paintings from a variety of 'concepts' that José Heerkens (Heeswijk-Dinther, 1950) made from 2009, with, featuring texts by Wita Noack, director of the Mies van der Rohe Haus in Berlin, and publicist and curator Jurriaan Benschop, and designed by Irma Boom.

 

In the series With paint the Kröller-Müller Museum presents the work of contemporary painters who deliberately reflect on the art-historical tradition in their work. Steven Aalders inaugurated the series in 2021-2022 with the exhibition Seasons. The first exhibition was followed by Klaas Kloosterboer, José Heerkens and Paul Drissen.
