Maybe you already heard all about the extraordinary exhibition that will take place in Gallery “De Mispel” at the end of 2014. It is a unique collection of avant-garde works by Piet Mondriaaan, Marcel Ducamp, Man X-Ray, Jackson Pollack, Marc Rotkho, Yves Little, Paul Klee and many others.
The full “Sammlung Hans Castorp” contains over twenty masterpieces; but it is uncertain as yet that Mr Chauchat will realease his entire collection. Some paintings, including a Piccasso, are currently undergoing restoration work. The artworks themselves we have not been able to see yet, but we already looked at some photographs … It looks really promising!
Jean-Claude Chauchat Jr is not well known, unlike his grandfather Hans Castorp. Thomas Mann wrote a voluminous book about Castorp’s childhood: “The Magic Mountain”, a masterpiece of world literature.
In 'Background' you’ll find a long text by Jean-Claude Chauchat Jr about Hans Castorp and his collection.
The working title for this exhibition is: "Just what is it that makes modern art so unique, so unimitable?"
We will keep you informed on this exceptional exhibition and will send you an invitation soon.
Sincerely,
Marc van Campenhout and Marina Raeymaekers, Curators
