Jef Verheyen - Press Articles

Ensemble

Jef Verheyen carefully preserved every press article. The earliest articles date back to 1955, telling of the artist’s ceramics period and his wife, Dani Franque. The articles also appear in several languages, in domestic and foreign newspapers and magazines, sometimes running for several pages. Several reviews bear witness to Verheyen’s key retrospective and group exhibitions, but they also shed light on demonstrations and events like G 58 Hessenhuis, the Nieuwe Vlaamse School [the New Flemish School], and the Venice Biennale. Posthumous press articles up to the present day are also stored in the Jef Verheyen Archive. 

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
