Catalogue Note
"Het autonome beeld moet wetten en normen uit zichzelf hebben, het kan niet van buitenaf worden bepaald. Het bezit eigen objectieve waarde, waardoor het zich niet direct op een maker beroept en is als zodanig anoniem, in wezen collectief en synchroon naar tijd en plaats."
(J. van der Heyden, Autonome Beeldende Kunst, Delftse School no. 12, 1965)
The Dutch artist J.C.J. van der Heyden, who was born in Den Bosch, is recognized as a key figure in Post-War art and a pioneer of Conceptual Art. Frequently exhibited in Europe since the mid-1950s, Van der Heyden has produced a diverse oeuvre in a variety of mediums including film and video. While the work differs in material, his themes and approach to art-making have remained remarkably consistent over the years.
Van der Heyden avoided being personal in painting. In each work he searched for an autonomous image, collective in presence as well as independent.
The square, rectangle, horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines are general forms, any other line or form has its individual deviation. The denial of any individuality is in all its aspects of form, structure and colour present in the following works by J.C.J. van der Heyden (lots 84 to 88).
