<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Twenty-five years ago Marcel van Eeden<\/strong> (1965) had his first exhibition at Galerie Maurits van de Laar. During that solo exhibition, the outlines of his\u00a0 work started to take shape: cataloguing the time before 1965, the year of his birth. By drawing from photographic material from books and newspapers, he began appropriating that time like an archivist, a project impossible to ever complete, if only because of the infinite number of available images. Undaunted by this prospect, Van Eeden started to draw in his virtuoso style, building an impressive oeuvre that keeps expanding to this day. Around 2004, an element of fiction started to appear in his work when he introduced characters like Wiegand and Sollman for the purpose of weaving an increasingly intricate plot.
\nThe exhibition to celebrate the twenty-five-year collaboration with Marcel van Eeden includes a retrospective of works that over the years were sold through the gallery, as well as new drawings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]A small publication with texts by buyers, curators and journalists who describe their first encounter with Van Eeden\u2019s work, will accompany the exhibition.
\nIn the words of one of the contributors, Hans den Hartog Jager: \u201cIn Van Eeden\u2019s work \u00a0subjectivity clashes maximally with existing reality, objectivity punches with great force on to the personal sphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag the exhibition Top Floor<\/em> is held from 13 April through 8 September. The artists Philip Akkerman, Tjebbe Beekman, Berlinde de Bruyckere, Marcel van Eeden, Erik Kessels, Jan Taminiau and Jennifer Tee were asked to choose their favorite works from the museum’s collection. Marcel van Eeden selected drawings by Erich Wichman and Alexander Bakker Korff, among others, which are shown together with his own drawings from the Lorentz series.<\/p>\n
