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