René Daniëls (Eindhoven, 1950) is probably the most widely appreciated Dutch artist of his generation. His new show at the Van Abbemuseum, An Exhibition is Always Part of a Greater Whole, casts new light on his versatile oeuvre ? one that still exerts a profound influence on younger artists. The exhibition opens on Saturday 12th May at 3 pm with an introduction by Manuel Borja-Villel, director of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, where a similar exhibition attracted almost 95.000 visitors from October 2011 to March 2012. The exhibition is organised in cooperation with Museo Nacional Centre de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid.
