Raoul de Keyser - Retrospektive

Since the early nineties there has been considerable international interest in the work of the Belgian artist Raoul De Keyser, who is regarded in his own country as being the father of contemporary painting. In the Netherlands, De Keyser’s work has been shown only sporadically until now (at the Groninger Museum in 1970, the Van Abbemuseum in 1974, Witte de With in 1993). De Pont exhibited the work of De Keyser for the first time in 2002, this being in connection with the gift of the Rotterdam psychiatrist Wijnand Sengers. The retrospective exhibition now being held by De Pont has been organized in collaboration with Museu de Serralves in Porto, the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London, Kunstmuseum St. Gallen and Musée de Rochechouart. In London alone the exhibition drew more than 25,000 visitors this past spring.
