Tribute to Mondriaan

37 internationally renowned contemporary artists pay tribute with a work of art to the famous dutch artist Piet Mondrian (Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan), at the request of the dutch gallery Conny Van Kasteel. The artists realized who of the stools or chairs and who of the tables (70x70x70cm) in the style of Mondrian where one of the main guidelines was not to copy but pay tribute to Mondrian and the idea of making tables and stools / chairs is precisely to virtually bring the artists together with the teacher around a table, so much so that the subtitle of the project is precisely:
"37 artists sit around the table and on the stools".
There are seven artists who have created a table, giving them indications only for the measures that had to be 70 x 70 x 70 cm. the artists involved in the realization of the tables are Getulio Alviani (IT.) - Stephan Fillitz (O) - Andre van Lier (NL) - Peter Royen (NL) - Albert Rubens (B) - E. Nele (D) - Norbert Thomas (D),while twenty-eight artists have designed a stool to match the tables with indications for the measures of 34 x 34 x 43, the artists involved for this series are: Jac Bisschops (NL) - Go de Graaf (NL) - Henk van Gerner (NL)- Peter Jansen (Nimega) - Yvonne Kracht (NL) - Anneke Klein Kranenbarg (NL) - Wicher Meursing (NL) - Riki Mijling (NL) - Henk Peeters (NL) - Anthonie Sas (NL) - Marry Teeuwen (NL) - Roel Teeuwen (NL) - Piet van Zon(NL) - Kengiro Azuma (Giappone) -Iginio Balderi (IT) Inge Besgen (D) -Enrico Castellani (IT) -Hans Günter Service (D) -Andre Evrard (Zw) - Rolf Forster (SW) Julian Gil (SW) SP) - Ernst Hesse (D) Alfons Kunen (D) -Umberto Mariani (IT) Jean Mauboules (FR) -Lucio del Pezzo (IT) -Mauro Staccioli (IT) Rezso Somfai (Ungheria); two dutch artists made a chair: Loek Bos and Willem Kloppers. a musical composer, Witte v.d.Veen, who also made a CD called "Homage to Mondrian" was also involved.
The intention is that all the work done by the artists involved, including the drawings and the documentation of each one, remain united in the project "Homage to Mondrian" at least as far as the first copy is concerned, since for each designed object there is a print run of up to 25 copies and therefore with the possibility of being purchased separately.
The project began in 2002 and was exhibited in the Conny Van Kasteel gallery
he has already gone to the Mondriaan Museum in Amersfoort and the Zaanstad Art Center in Zaandam, Holland.
