The museum Beelden aan Zee (BAZ) celebrates its 25th anniversary this year with three special exhibitions. The summer exhibition, which will take place from June 22 to September 22, will be dedicated to Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa, a versatile artist known for his large sculptures that are exhibited mainly in public spaces.
He has completed over thirty large projects in cities such as Chicago, Dubai, London, Liverpool, Nice, Tokyo, Toronto and Vancouver, and he has received many awards, including the Medal de Chevalier des Arts et Lettres and the Velázquez Prize for the Arts in 2013.
The relationship between Jaume Plensa and the museum Beelden aan Zee started a long time ago. In 1985, Theo and Lida Scholten, founders of Beelden aan Zee, bought one of his first works, titled “Home”. Last year, Jaume Plensa created the fountain titled “Love”, one of the eleven fountains made for Leeuwarden-Frylân European Capital of Culture 2018.
More information about the exhibition can be found at the website of museum BAZ.
