"Due to the optimal use of daylight alone, the immense pieces of glass seem to give off light. They keep on changing color and give alternating impressions of weight and weightlessness, softness and hardness, transparency and opaqueness. Mysterious depths in magnificent hues, like solidified water." Riki Simons in Elsevier

Kees de Goede
Perpétuel
extended through 28 February

His round paintings evoke an intense feeling of calm and space. They bring to mind the universe, with its stars and planets, being physically present yet distant and intangible. An indefinable realm in which the real and the imagined worlds merge imperceptibly.

Major gift for De Pont

Willem de Kooning, Untitled XV, 1981

By way of this gift, the generous donor, Mrs. IJ.S.W. de Wilde-Reinhold wishes to express her appreciation of the museum in Tilburg.

Her husband, the former director of Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum Edy de Wilde who died in 2005, served on De Pont's board for more than ten years, as of the museum's founding in 1989.

Both Mrs. De Wilde-Reinhold and her husband had a strong connection with the museum, and she particularly values the ongoing interest that De Pont shows for painting. With the work by De Kooning, the museum will be able to provide this with greater depth and character.
