With more than 100 sculptures, the fascinating and varied oeuvre of the Belarus-born sculptor Ossip Zadkine (1888-1967) was exhibited in museum Beelden aan zee. The exhibition illustrated the personal development of Zadkine against the background of the turbulent 20th century. Guest conservator Heico Hoekstra’s concept for the exhibition, which in 2017 was awarded the Turing Toekenning II, analyzed Zadkine’s ideas in seven sections.
