Man in blue I

Ask anything

  • Adam asked

    Where can one view this painting during the renovations?

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Dear Adam, right now this work is not part of any planned exhibitions. However, when the new publicly accessible Depot opens in 2021, this work could conceivably be on view there or visible in storage. Best, Rianne

  • Sebastian Gudmand-Høyer asked

    Have it been considered to move this piece, or adjust the lights in the room? The painting is hardly visible due to the reflections caused by the glass in front of it.

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Dear Sebastian,
    Thank you for noticing. We recently closed this presentation. Next time we will consider the place and the possible reflections.
    Kind regards,
    Esther
