Explore the stories behind the collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam from A to Z. More than 130 well-known and lesser-known works are highlighted. Prepare to be surprised by the mix of art forms and the unexpected connections that emerge as a result. The makers are organized alphabetically by their first names, ranging from Agus Djaya and Gerrit Rietveld to Marlene Dumas and Zanele Muholi. A concluding essay describes how transformations of the building since its founding in 1895 reflect changing ideas about the role of the museum.
This multicolored and richly illustrated collection guide is like the museum itself: a place for encounter, change, reflection, reinterpretation, and polyphony. But above all, it offers fantastic art and design, packaged in a practical pocket format, so you can discover it anywhere, anytime.
