The museum is staging a presentation of earlier work and new ceramics by Johan van Loon (Rotterdam, 1934) to mark his 75th birthday. For more than 50 years Johan van Loon has been one of the most important Dutch ceramic artists. This autumn more than twenty of his works will be exhibited in the museum’s showcase. The presentation shows more than twenty of the earthenware, stoneware and ceramic vases, bowls and plates in the museum collection. The presentation charts the development in the work in different periods of Van Loon’s career. The underlying theme in his work is the urge for innovation, expressed in experiments with colours, forms and surfaces. A colorful variety of objects are combined in one presentation. The new work was specially made for the museum, as was a multiple developed for the museum shop. Experimentation with decorations and colours remains a motif in his work and makes it unique and recognizable.
