Voor de horizon

This book is the culmination of Loes van der Horst's 60 years' work as an artist, and is personally compiled by her to give an insight into her life's work. After pursuing a postgraduate programme in drawing and painting in Vienna and The Hague, and a brief period of working with textiles, she went on to work with plastics, aluminium and steel. This transition shifted her work from the atelier to the public arena, where enormous transparent sculptures that accentuate the sense of space arose. For the artist, space is synonymous with freedom. The drawings she created were used purely as research materials and as inspiration for this spatial voyage of discovery. The book documents the artist's development using rich imagery supported by personal texts and citations from others, all bound together in convenient, chronological order. Readers of this self-written monograph can learn about the creative process as well as its technical realization. Exhibition: Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, December 2009 - February 2010.
