in search of the miraculous

sgabello collection

September 7th - November 29th, 2020

‘SGABELLO COLLECTION: In Search of the Miraculous‘ marks the second exhibition at On The Inside. The exhibition shows a selection of approximately 125 works from the private art collection of Casper van der Kruk. This relatively young collection has been established in the past two decades and covers works from all disciplines in the contemporary arts.

In addition to a personal exploration through the arts of a passionate collector, the exhibition shows a cross-section of contemporary art from this period; an anthology of what has been on view in galleries and institutes in recent years. A number of artists who were experimental at the time are now established names. Others are now at the beginning of their art practice.

“In Search of the Miraculous” refers to the title of a work by Aukje Dekker based on the famous work of Bas Jan Ader, the artist who never returned from his transatlantic sailing trip.

Curated by Liesbeth Willems, former curator of the private KRC collection in Voorschoten (NL)
