Product description
Ink drawing 2021
Beautiful original work by Jan Henderikse (1937): the longest-living Zero artist in the Netherlands. Jan recently created this beautiful series of drawings in his New York studio. The work is deeply framed and has special glass (70% UV-resistant and hardly any reflection). Signed and dated by the artist.
He became best known for assemblages made from waste and 'rejects' and as a member of the Nul-beweging, although his work closely borders on Pop Art. With his aesthetic of the mundane, he quickly earned the nickname "king of trash". In the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, his work is regularly exhibited in important museums. Together with Armando, Jan Schoonhoven, and Henk Peeters, Henderikse formed the Dutch Nul-beweging in 1960. Of this group, Jan Henderikse was the one who worked with industrial products, explicit waste, and discarded materials, using them to create assemblages. He is not the man of the theory of Nul, but of doing and making; Henderikse saw himself as the artist with the lowest 'Nul-content'. Central to the work of the group of Nul artists was the emphasis on the impersonal in art, the objective. This included avoiding a personal handwriting and seeking production procedures that possessed external regularity and order, comparable to the production process within factories and companies. This was expressed in the use of materials very unusual for the art of that time, such as pennies and corks (Henderikse), cotton wool and feathers (Peeters), cardboard (Schoonhoven), and bolts and barbed wire (Armando).
