Art from Home: the Wilploo Collection

The Wilploo Collection presents a generous selection of works by different artists, all of them also collected by the Stedelijk Museum. The Wilploo Collection consists predominantly of works on paper – including some very large-sized ones – paintings and ceramics.
The basic principles of the Wilploo Collection are spontaneity, a love of and commitment to the work of artists. A large number of artists has been followed for many years and is amply represented in this collection, which bespeaks a distinct penchant for certain subjects and techniques. Portraits and human figures in which a softness of facial expression and an inner quiet are recurrent features, form a part of the collection. But (urban) landscapes, in which people play no relevant part, are equally well represented. In addition, a selection has been made for the exhibition in Schiedam from works belonging to the ‘Cool Abstraction’, where the relation between form, rhythm and colour is at the basis of the choices made by the collector. Although this collection particularly highlights work on paper and art after 1970, other forms of expression such as paintings, sculptures, photography and video are likewise represented.
Initially, many collectors purchase works especially for themselves, and in addition to support artists whose work they admire. But over the years the urge to share the collection with others will become stronger and stronger. The collectors of the Wilploo Collection are well disposed towards the artists, as well as towards our Museum and the Rijksmuseum Twenthe: a substantial number of the works in the exhibition will be donated to the Museum.
