Artist's Resale Right ("Droit de Suite"). Artist's… 显示更多

Jan van Loenen Martinet met Pauline Berdenis van Berlekom shortly after World War II through a mutual friend. They fell in love and married in 1950. They shared a passion for art and Jan had already been a partner in his own gallery Martinet & Michels since 1949. The gallery focused on "living" artists, such as Corneille, Carel Visser and Gerrit Benner and played an important role in developing the Dutch Post-War art scene. The gallery could not sustain itself financially, however, in a decade when Europe was still in the reconstruction phase after the war. In 1954 the director of the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Willem Sandberg, asked Jan to become the head of the print department, and he decided to close his gallery. In the museum Jan became acquainted with artists such as Christo, Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely and Shinkichi Tajiri, who all became close friends of Jan and Pauline.
