Schoonhoven Silver Award 2009
In May 2008 I was invited to participate in the Schoonhoven Silver Award 2009
From an international field of 153 applications, I was selected to make a work for this Award.
The Schoonhoven Silver Award 2009 was shown in Pinakothek der Moderne in Munchen Germany.
The entire collection was beautifully situated on the "Rotunde" under a very large window
that indirectly illuminates the works, very impressive.
The Bayerisches Fernsehen, Rundschau has made a nice presentation film of it.
Via Albert Six I received some nice photos, which were supplied by,
Die Neue Sammlung - The International Design Museum Munich (A. Laurenzo)
Willem Tredgett took the photo's below.
Willem Tredgett himself also exhibits and with other artists.
Willem's work was shown at Jan van Lokhorst Atelier in Gouda,
where together with Toby Tredgett (indeed, Willem's brother),
who provided the better snacks and drinks, a beautiful
and successful presentation was created in Jan's studio.
Below you can see a photo impression of Willem's
work in the studio of Jan van Lokhorst.
