Contemporary past - Peter De Koninck

Contemporary Past displayed an overview of graphic work produced by Peter De Koninck over a period of ten years. His remarkable monumental etchings are highly idiosyncratic. The rest of the exhibition consisted of serigraphs, smaller etchings and works acquired by the Print Cabinet.

13.02.2011 - 13.03.2011

This presentation displayed an overview of graphic work produced by Peter De Koninck over a period of roughly ten years. The artist created his remarkable monumental etchings using a method he himself had developed. This gives these works a very personal and idiosyncratic character. The rest of the exhibition consisted of serigraphs, smaller etchings and works acquired by the Print Cabinet.

This presentation marked the 875th anniversary of the foundation of the Hoboken district of Antwerp. Other work by Peter De Koninck was exhibited in:

  • Kasteel Sorghvliedt (Marneflaan 3, 2660 Hoboken)
  • the Het Vijfde Huis gallery (Reyndersstraat  5, 2000 Antwerp)
