Summary
Piet de Boer (1894-1974), a contemporary of Frits Lugt (1884-1970), amassed an impressive private collection during his 40 year career as an art dealer. The exhibition features a large selection from this collection in which the flavour of this marchand-collectionneur and his feeling for quality are paramount. A special room will be devoted to work by Vincent van Gogh: five drawings, among them the iconic Worn Out, represented by a figure in great despair and a large sheet of a Peasant Digging, created out of compassion for the lot of the poor farm labourer. There is also Moulin de Blute-fin, a coloured drawing from Van Gogh's time in Paris. Among the paintings is the striking Wheatfield, rendered with splashes of colour in Arles in June 1888. Unlike many other dealers in old art, Piet de Boer had an affinity with contemporary art and showed great interest in classical modern artists. He considered Van Gogh to be the most important among them and succeeded in bringing together this interesting group of his works. Exhibition: Fondation Custodia, Collection Frits Lugt, Paris, France (13.12.2014-8.3.2015).
