'Exceptional Opportunity' Initiative, 'Giorgio Morandi and the Netherlands', Museum Belvédère, 2023
The Turing Foundation and the Rembrandt Association started a new initiative in 2022 entitled Exceptional Opportunity:
more than 100 Dutch art museums were invited to make a presentation with iconic loans from other Dutch public collections in 2023.
There was a budget for the very best proposals.
The two winners are Museum Rembrandthuis and Museum Belvédère.
Museum Belvédère is showing a never-before-exhibited selection of Giorgio Morandi's paintings from various Dutch museums.
The museum hosted the successful Giorgio Morandi and Bologna exhibition in 2018.
This resulted in a private Dutch donation of one of Morandi's paintings to the museum. Five years later and based on this painting,
the museum is curating a exhibition of Morandi's paintings in Dutch collections, with proposed loans from Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen,
Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. The exhibition draws attention to interest in the Netherlands for Morandi
and his influence on Dutch artists. Parallel to the presentation, in an adjacent space, the museum is exhibiting the paintings
the museum has collected that are related to 'its' Morandi; still lifes by Dutch artists who have an affinity to the Italian master.
The artistic values cherished by the museum are at the centre of both presentations: concentration and stillness.
The Turing Foundation and the Rembrandt Association share the costs of € 27.000 for this exhibition,
which can be seen between 17 June and 24 September.

Futurism & Europe. The Aesthetics of a New World, Kröller-Müller Museum, 2023
Futurism (1909-1916) originated on the eve of the First World War in Italy. Futurists revolted against established norms and values and the traditions of the nineteenth century. Art should express the energy of modern life and the dynamics of the new era in all its activity. The exhibition at the Kröller-Müller Museum gives an impression of the 'futurist universe' in the broad context of the European avant-garde by showing an extensive array of objects from the period 1912 to 1939: paintings, sculptures, furniture, ceramics, interior and stage design, clothing, graphic work and utensils. Work by many artists will be exhibited. Italian futurists such as Giacomo Balla, Carlo Carrà and Fortunato Depero as well as avant-garde artists such as Le Corbusier, Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Marianne Brandt, El-Lissitzky, Theo van Doesburg and Gerrit Rietveld will be shown at the exhibition.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €40,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 29 April and 3 September 2023.

Purchase of two works by Caspar van Wittel, Museum Flehite, 2022
Caspar van Wittel was born in Amersfoort in the Netherlands and went to Rome in 1674, where he was known as 'Gaspare Vanvitelli'
and caused a furore. He is regarded as the founder of vedutism, the genre of townscapes with which successors such as Canaletto,
Bellotto and Guardi would later have great triumphs.
Museum Flehite organised a successful retrospective on Caspar van Wittel in 2019.
In collaboration with the Rembrandt Association, it has managed to acquire two works by the artist from
private English sellers: a View of Naples, depicting the Dock in Naples, La Darsena, and a View of Rome,
depicting the Catel Sant' Angelo and the apse of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini.
This purchase was made possible in part by a contribution of € 30,000 by the Turing Foundation.
Regular acquisitions are beyond the scope of the Turing Foundation's funding policy. A one-off exception has
been made for the purchase of these two special works, which are important to Museum Flehite and the
Netherlands National Collection both historically and in terms of art history.

Vermeer in Delft, Museum Prinsenhof Delft, 2023
Museum Prinsenhof Delft is developing the exhibition 'Vermeer in Delft' parallel to the survey exhibition on the seventeenth-century master which will be in the same period at the Rijksmuseum. Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) was born in Delft and lived and worked in the town his entire life; it was one of the most important artistic centres in the Northern Netherlands in the seventeenth century. Museum Prinsenhof is using important people in Vermeer's life to sketch the artistic, intellectual and social climate in Delft in the latter half of the seventeenth century: what was the artistic context in which Vermeer worked, what did the town of Delft and his daily life look like? The exhibition is expected to include 90 pieces, including paintings by contemporaries Carel Fabritius, Pieter de Hooch, Dirck van Baburen and Carel de Man. Most of these works are being exhibited in the Netherlands for the first time in many years.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 30,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 10 February and 4 June 2023. The contribution is earmarked for the publication.

Sofonisba Anguissola. Portraitist of the Renaissance, Rijksmuseum Twenthe, 2023
In collaboration with the Danish Nivaagaards Malerisamling, Rijksmuseum Twenthe is organising the first monographic exhibition in the Netherlands on the Italian renaissance painter Sofonisba Anguissola (1532-1625). Sofonisba Anguissola was one of the most talented artists of the sixteenth century, but few people know her name these days. In a time in which women had limited possibilities and opportunities, she successfully became an important portrait painter. She developed her own style with personal and expressive portraits of 'real' people, managing to capture their emotions well. She fulfilled the aristocracy's desire to be immortalised and painted at the Spanish court of Philip II and his wife Elisabeth of Valois for a time. Rijksmuseum Twenthe is exhibiting a total of 25 of the 34 works ascribed to Sofonisba Anguissola, twenty of which have not previously been exhibited in the Netherlands.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 20,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 12 February and 11 June 2023.

'Hockney's Eye', Teylers Museum, Haarlem, 2022-2023
Since the beginning of his lengthy career, David Hockney (1937) has explored how we see the world
around us and how artists over the centuries have captured this on the surface of a flat picture.
In the exhibition Hockney's Eye
- a co-production with the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Heong Gallery in Cambridge -
works by Hockney, old masters' artworks and optical instruments give insight into how artists work.
The exhibition includes a total of about 80 pieces, including highlights from Hockney's oeuvre which have never been shown in the Netherlands.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €40,000 towards this exhibition, which will be open to the public from 23 September 2022 to 29 January 2023.

The Singer Laren is working on an ambitious exhibition on Kees van Dongen's early period,
from 1895 to about 1917. A selection of more than 70 works illustrates how in a brief time the artist
managed to break through and become one of the most successful artists in Paris.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 40,000 towards this exhibition, which will open 17 January 2021 and run until 7 May 2023.

Publication Mondriaan in Woord en Beeld, Uitgeverij IJzer, 2021-2022
Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) was one of the most important artists of the twentieth century.
He played a leading role in the international avant garde and in the evolution from realistic
to abstract art. Mondrian sent many letters, telegrams and postcards, about 1,650 of which have survived.
He also wrote dozens of essays, in which he articulated his progressive ideas and artistic ideals. On the occasion
of Piet Mondrian's 150th birthday on 7 March 2020, Uitgeverij IJzer is publishing the book Mondriaan in
Woord en Beeld (Mondriaan in Words and Pictures). This publication links Mondrian's serial work to his essays. It was written by Louis Veen, whose PhD in 2011 was about Mondrian's written work.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 3,000 in 2021 towards this publication.

Exhibition: 'Henry Moore by the Sea: Form and Material', Museum Beelden aan Zee, Scheveningen, 2023
Henry Moore (1898-1986) was one of the most influential artists in the previous century. He was instrumental in introducing a new form of modernism to the UK. The sculptor is best known to the general public for his large abstract works in bronze and marble: monumental, abstract sculptures in organic form, mostly human figures. Museum Beelden aan Zee is exhibiting top works in Moore's oeuvre and is also focusing on his craft and use of materials. A grand total of 85 sculptures and objects will illustrate how the artist was influenced in the creation of his works by the choice of material and how it was processed.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €25,000 towards this exhibition, which will be from 8 April to 22 October 2023.

Exhibition: 'Living the Landscape - Nicholson, Hepworth and the Artists of St. Ives, 1939-1975', Museum Belvédère, Oranjewoud, 2022
Museum Belvédère is organising an exhibition on the art created in St. Ives on the south-west coast of Great Britain in the period 1939-1975. The artist couple Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth settled in the Cornish seaside town in the late 1930s, where avant-garde artist friends Naum Gabo, Roger Hilton, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Bryan Wynter, Terry Frost, Patrick Heron and Sandra Blow joined them. St. Ives quickly developed into an international art centre. The artists were inspired by the ancient landscape, the sea and the local people's connection to their environment. A total of about 60 paintings and sculptures, mainly from international collections, will be brought to Oranjewoud, including many pieces that have not been exhibited in the Netherlands before.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €25,000 towards this exhibition, which will be from 28 May to 20 September 2022.

'Paula Rego', Kunstmuseum The Hague, 2021-2022
Portuguese-British artist Paula Rego's (Lisbon, 1935) oeuvre spans decades and deals with topical themes such as colonial history and feminism. Her early work is often politically tinted and directed against the dictatorial regime of Portuguese Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar (1932-1968). Her later work is in the style of magical realism, with family suffering, family relationships and the dominant role of women as central themes. Paula Rego is a star in the United Kingdom, but she has never had a solo exhibition devoted to her work in the Netherlands. Which is why the Kunstmuseum Den Haag has organised an overview of Paula Rego's life and work, based on an impressive 70 works (from Tate Britain and Portuguese museums and private collections, including the Calouste Gulbenkian).
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 30,000 towards this exhibition, which will be from 27 November 2021 to 20 March 2022.

'The Forgotten Princesses of Thorn', Limburgs Museum, Venlo, 2021-2022
Until the end of the eighteenth century, part of the small town of Thorn was home to a convent: an ecclesiastical institution which only hosted unmarried ladies of high nobility. The convent ladies were unusual women in their time: they were independent, elected one of their number as the 'princess-abbess', ruled over their mini-state and were welcome guests at European courts. The exhibition 'The Forgotten Princesses of Thorn' at the Limburgs Museum gives insight into the history of the convent and its inhabitants in the period 1700 to 1794, based on the biographies of three princess-abbesses. A total of more than 200 loans from approximately 50 lenders from museums and private collections in the Netherlands and abroad will feature in the exhibition, including paintings, trinkets, medals, marriage certificates, jewellery, clothing and furniture.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 30,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 1 October 2021 and 3 April 2022.

'Golden Boy Gustav Klimt. Inspired by Van Gogh, Rodin, Matisse', Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, 2020-2023
The Austrian artist Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) lived and worked in Vienna's belle époque, a period of unparalleled artistic achievement. Klimt was a member of the symbolist art movement and gained particular fame for his later work, characterised by decorative ornamentalism and suggestive-erotic symbolism. The Van Gogh Museum is organising a retrospective on Gustav Klimt in which the influence of international avant-garde art on Klimt's oeuvre is illustrated: from Whistler and Toorop, via Monet and Rodin, to Van Gogh and Matisse. 50 works by Gustav Klimt and 50 works by contemporaries are being brought to Amsterdam. The exhibition will then continue at the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 100,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen from 7 October 2022 and 8 January 2023.

The museum is organising an exhibition on Thérèse Schwartze's work (1815-1918), who was a contemporary of Tetar van Elven and specialised in portrait painting.
Schwartze's freer, modern work is combined and compared with the somewhat more conservative academy painter Tetar van Elven's work.
A total of approximately 30 pieces (mainly portraits) by Thérèse Schwartze are being exhibited in Delft.
The pieces are from Dutch museums and private collections.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €5,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on view from 6 November 2021 to 8 May 2022.

'Lucio Fontana - The Conquest of Space', Design Museum Den Bosch, 2021-2022
The avant-garde artist Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) is best known for his monochrome paintings with vertical cuts. This departed from the notion of a painting as a flat painted surface on which space is suggested. The Design Museum Den Bosch is organising an exhibition displaying work from Fontana's entire oeuvre and discussing his ideas about the conception of space in the various disciplines. The museum exhibits ceramic objects, paintings, lights, spatial installations and design. In addition to twenty works from the museum's own collection, many European loans will be on display.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €20,000 towards this exhibition, which will be from 2 October 2021 to 23 January 2022.

In Face to Face with Gustav Klimt, the Van Abbemuseum is displaying drawings and paintings by the artist in an especially designed space.
The most important work from Vienna is Beethoven Frieze.
Klimt designed this artwork in 1902 for the Vienna Secessionist exhibition honouring Beethoven's ninth symphony and painted the frieze directly on the walls of the Vienna Secession Building.
The Belvedère Museum recently had an exact copy of the frieze made and this high-quality, life-size facsimile (more than two-metres tall and 34-metres long) is on display for the first time at the Van Abbemuseum, as the centrepiece of and backdrop to the exhibition Face to Face with Gustav Klimt.

Exhibition 'The Botanical Revolution - About the Necessity of Art and Gardening', Centraal Museum, 2021-2022
In the exhibition About the Necessity of Art and Gardening,
the Centraal Museum is exploring how gardens have served as a microcosm and metaphor of society in different ways.
A cross section of work from art history - old art, modern art and very recent (commissioned) work by contemporary artists - is used to sketch the development of the relationship between nature and culture.
Key pieces from the museum collection, including Abraham Bloemaert's Adam and Eve in Paradise (1604) and flower still lifes by Roeland Saverij, are being combined with loans from collections in the Netherlands and abroad.
The highlight of the exhibition is Caspar David Friedrich's painting Cemetery Entrance (1825), representing death and the end of the cycle of nature.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €20,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 10 September 2021 and 9 January 2022.

Spinoza's Daily Life, Spinoza House, The Hague 2020-2021
Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677), one of the world's greatest thinkers, was co-founder of rationalism and one of the founding fathers of modern philosophy.
The greatest Dutch philosopher was born in Amsterdam and lived in the vicinity of The Hague during his working life.
He spent the last seven years of his life at Paviljoensgracht 72-74 in The Hague.
This seventeenth-century house still has a largely monumental interior and contains a special collection of books by and about Spinoza.
The Spinozahuis Association intends to open the Spinoza House to the public so that visitors can see how the great man lived and worked.
The plan is to develop three functions: a museum about Spinoza, a reception and presentation area, and a study centre and library.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €3,000 towards this project.

He won the Lion D'Or at the Venice Biennale in 2007 and the opening of the exhibition in 2021
marks the moment that the Van Abbemuseum will receive a donation from the Ferrari family, consisting of fourteen works.
Gülsün Karamustafa, who won the Prince Claus Award in 2014, is one of the leading lights
of contemporary Turkish art and an important figure in the struggle for recognition of female artists.

Acquisition of 'Granido and Daifilo' (1623) van Dirck van Baburen, Centraal Museum, Utrecht, 2020
Centraal Museum has acquired a work by Dirck van Baburen, an Utrecht caravaggist and founder of pastoral painting. The Utrecht nobleman Pieter van Hardenbroeck commissioned the canvas in 1623 to commemorate his budding love for his wife. Van Baburen portrayed them as Granida and Daifilo (a Persian princess and a simple shepherd). His first-class canvas was the earliest depiction of a theme that would be incredibly popular from this time. The acquisition forms a unique diptych together with another highlight in the museum's collection - Gerard van Honthorst's beautiful Granida and Daifilo, painted in 1625.
The artwork was sold at a public auction in January 2020. The Turing Foundation provided € 50,000 to enable the Centraal Museum to increase their bid at the art auction. The museum acquired the work without having to utilise the Turing Foundation's contribution.

John Constable, Teylers Museum, Haarlem, 2020-2021
Teylers Museum is organising the first retrospective on the English landscape painter John Constable (1776-1837), who was a member of the Romantic school and was ground breaking in his realistic portrayal of landscapes and cloudy skies. He was heavily influenced by the seventeenth-century Flemish and Dutch masters and the realistic way in which Jacob van Ruysdael, Rembrandt and Rubens portrayed landscapes. An impressive 90 of Constable's works - paintings, watercolours and sketches - from international collections are being used to give an overview of his artistic development and the influence of Dutch masters on his work.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 40,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 19 September 2020 and 27 June 2021.

'Frida Kahlo. Viva la Frida - Life and art of Frida Kahlo', Drents Museum, 2020-2022
In 2020 the Drents Museum is organising the largest project in the museum's history: an exhibition on Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). Kahlo's predominantly autobiographical work is classified as magical realism and is characterised by her use of bright colours and Mexican folklore motifs. About 145 works from two Mexican collections - paintings and drawings from Museo Dolores Olmedo and personal objects from Museo Frida Kahlo - give an overview of Frida Kahlo's life and work. The works from the aforementioned collections have never been exhibited together before and most of Kahlo's works have never been seen in the Netherlands. This makes the exhibition a first in all respects.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €75,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 10 October 2021 and 27 March 2022.

'In the light of Cuyp. Aelbert Cuyp & Gainsborough - Constable - Turner', Dordrechts Museum, 2020-2022
The landscape painter Aelbert Cuyp (1620-1691) lived and worked for his entire life in the town of Dordrecht. During his life his work was sold predominantly in and around Dordrecht, but in the mid-eighteenth century his art was discovered by English art collectors, resulting in 'Cuyp mania'. Aelbert Cuyp's work had a major impact on English landscape painters in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Painters such as Thomas Gainsborough, John Constable and J.M.W. Turner particularly admired his work. The Dordrechts Museum is marking the 400th centenary of the artist's birth with an ambitious exhibition on Aelbert Cuyp's influence on English landscape painting. 35 of Cuyp's paintings and an equal number of his successors' paintings from foreign (mainly British) collections will be coming to Dordrecht.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 40,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 3 October 2021 and 6 March 2022.

'Niki de Saint Phalle aan Zee', Museum Beelden aan Zee, Scheveningen, 2019-2020
The work of the French sculptor and painter Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) is regarded as Nouveau Realism and is associated with Pop Art.
The self-taught Saint Phalle played an important role in female empowerment in the art world in the 1960s and 1970s, and she is renowned
for her monumental works, including the Nanas - opulent, brightly coloured female figures. These cheerful primaeval mothers are an ode to
women as the source of life. These Nanas, also called bathers, are the focus of the retrospective exhibition 'Niki de Saint Phalle at Sea'
at Museum Beelden aan Zee. A total of 80 international loans will illustrate the Nanas development in all their diversity from 1965.
The Nanas will not be highlighted solely as an iconic image of women but will also be placed
in the context of the ongoing discussion of gender relations, equal treatment and the #metoo movement.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 25,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 5 October 2019 and 1 March 2020.

"Monet. The garden paintings", Kunstmuseum Den Haag, 2019-2020
For the first time in 30 years the Kunstmuseum Den Haag is organising a monographic exhibition on Claude Monet (1840-1926), in which the artist's development in the last 25 years of his life will take centre stage. Monet retired around 1900 to his home in Giverny, where he focused on depicting his flowery garden. The work he created there was initially still impressionist, but over time Monet used an increasingly expressive and almost abstract visual language. Exhibiting Monet's images of water lilies and wisteria clearly demonstrates this development. As well as two works from its own collection, the Gemeentemuseum is displaying more than 30 works from foreign collections.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €75,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 12 October 2019 and 2 February 2020

Kunsthal KAdE and Museum Flehite are organising an exhibition in 2019 about the artist Caspar van Wittel (1653 - 1736), who was born in Amersfoort.
Van Wittel went to Rome in 1674, and using the name 'Gaspare Vanvitelli', caused a furore. He is regarded as the founder of vedutism,
the genre of townscapes with which successors such as Canaletto, Bellotto and Guardi would later have great triumphs.
There will be around 40 paintings and 25 drawings with which the Dutch public can get acquainted with the artist Van Wittel,
who is unknown in his native country. His works are being exhibited in combination with work by his Dutch predecessors and Italian successors.

Giacometti (1901-1966) and Lynn Chadwick (1914-2003 ). Together they contributed decisively to the modern face of sculpture
in the second half of the twentieth century. Museum de Fundatie wants to show that the artists experienced a parallel
development in the 1950s and 1960s: both felt the threatening apocalypse of the Cold War after the euphoria of liberation
and both portrayed this fear of death in their work. 28 sculptures and 37 works on paper by Alberto Giacometti are being
exhibited and 40 sculptures and 20 to 40 works on paper by Lynn Chadwick.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 40,000 towards this exhibition.

"Jean Cocteau / Metamorphosis", Design Museum Den Bosch, 2018-2019
Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) was an incredibly versatile artist who was particularly known for his visual work: he made illustrations, drawings, posters, tapestries, sculptures, ceramics and jewellery. The Design Museum Den Bosch, which collects Cocteau's ceramics and jewellery, is organising the first solo exhibition of his work in the Netherlands. The 12 works from its own collection are being exhibited in the context of the artist's total oeuvre. There is also insight into Cocteau's life and motives.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 20,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 10 November 2018 and 10 March 2019.

"I, Mary of Guelders", Museum Het Valkhof, 2018-2019
Mary of Guelders' prayer book is one of the greatest medieval art treasures from the Netherlands. It could not be viewed for years - neither by the general public, nor even by researchers. Museum Het Valkhof will for the first time exhibit a total of forty restored pages in 2018. In addition to the prayer book, special objects are being used to give an impression of Mary of Guelders' life.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 30,000 towards this exhibition, which will be from 13 October 2018 to 6 January 2019.

Main Supporter 'Pieter de Hooch in Delft', Museum Prinsenhof Delft, 2017-2020
Never before has Pieter de Hooch been seen monographically in the Netherlands, even though everyone in the country knows his name and work, and almost every Dutch city has a Pieter de Hooch street. This very ambitious and courageous project by Museum Prinsenhof Delft is taking De Hooch out of Vermeer's shadow. Museum Prinsenhof brings Pieter De Hooch's masterpieces and visitors' favourites from all over the world - Germany, Ireland, Spain, America, France, Austria, the UK and Russia - back to Delft: the city where this important master of the Dutch Golden Age produced his finest works. It is all being done in time for the Golden Age centenary year 2019. Thorough historical research conducted prior to the exhibition and is being combined with broad peripheral programming involving many people in Delft. This exhibition could well entice some of the many tourists from Amsterdam! It is a special achievement by an energetic team able to deliver here and now.
The Turing Foundation awarded the € 500,000 Turing Award 2017 to Museum Prinsenhof Delft for its exhibition on Pieter de Hooch, which will be open to the public from 11 October 2019 to 16 February 2020.

Main Supporter 'Zadkine Aan Zee', Museum Beelden aan Zee, Scheveningen, 2017-2019
Exhibiting sculptures in the Netherlands is not easy. But Museum Beelden aan Zee - which was only founded 23 years ago! - has been exceptional for a long time and is now working on a grand retrospective (just say the biggest ever) of the poetic, lyrically focused and 'purely artisan' sculptor Ossip Zadkine (1890-1967). Zadkine was important to the Netherlands - which Dutchman does not know the national monument The Destroyed City, which he made in 1953 as a memorial to the bombing of Rotterdam. It was high time someone dared to exhibit a retrospective. Museum Beelden aan Zee took up the challenge. Thanks to a well thought-out concept, and more than a hundred sculptures, many of which have never before been exhibited anywhere - presented in ten overarching themes, each more intriguing than the previous one - the public will be able to learn about the versatility and scope of this Franco-Russian master of modernism.
The Turing Foundation awarded the € 150,000 Turing Award 2017 to Museum Beelden aan Zee for their 'Zadkine Aan Zee' exhibition, which will be open to the public from 6 October 2018 to 3 March 2019.

Exhibition 'Gaudi in de Amsterdamse School', Museum Het Schip, 2018-2019
Museum Het Schip has been based in the social housing block called 'Het Schip' in Amsterdam's Spaarndammerbuurt neighbourhood since 2001. The museum draws many parallels between the methods of architects of the Amsterdam School and designs by the Spanish architect Gaudi (1852-1926), and has had the opportunity to make special loans from Barcelona (ranging from doors, chairs and tiles to models and blueprints) and exhibit them in Amsterdam. The exhibition will provide insights into the sources of inspiration, symbolism and craftsmanship of Gaudi and architects of the Amsterdam School and appreciation for their work in the past 100 years.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 10,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 1 October 2018 and 1 April 2019.

Main Supporter 'Neo Rauch', Museum De Fundatie, Zwolle, 2017-2018
Museum de Fundatie is organising the first major retrospective exhibition of the German artist Neo Rauch (1960). Rauch is one of the founders of the Neue Leipziger Schule and his big, surrealistic and narrative works appeal very much to the imagination. The exhibition will use some 60 works to illustrate the painter's development over the past 25 years. The museum has previously drawn attention to two other representatives of the Leipziger Schule, Werner Tübke and Wolfgang Mattheuer.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 50,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 27 January and 3 June 2018. This contribution is earmarked for bringing foreign (U.S.) loans to the Netherlands.

'Ferdinand Bol: Het Huis, De Collectie, De Kunstenaar', Museum van loon, Amsterdam, 2017-2018
The painter Ferdinand Bol was the first person to live in the property on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam where the Museum Van Loon is now located. Which is why the museum has organised an exhibition about the painter's art collection, based on an inventory from 1669. The exhibition gives an impression of the collection with a total of 20 works by artists like Rembrandt, Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob van Ruisdael and Ferdinand Bol himself. The highlight of the exhibition is Rembrandt van Rijn's painting 'The Circumcision' (1661). This painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery in Washington and has not been seen in the Netherlands since 1898.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 10,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 6 October 2017 and 8 January 2018. This contribution is earmarked for the costs of the loan of Rembrandt's 'The Circumcision' (1661).

Fauvism to Surrealism. Jewish avant-garde art from Hungary, Jewish Historical Museum, Amsterdam, 2017
In 2017 the Jewish Historical Museum is organising an exhibition on the work of Jewish avant-garde artists from Hungary: adherents of Fauvism, Cubism, German Expressionism and Surrealism. The role of these artists has been neglected, as result of which they have not gained the reputation and fame they deserve for the quality of their work. The Jewish Historical Museum wants to change this and introduce a wider audience to the work of artists like László Moholy-Nagy, Lajos Tihanyi, Róbert Berény, and Béla Czóbel.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €30,000 towards this exhibition, which will be held from 15 May 2017 to 17 September 2017.

'Jean Arp - The Poetry of Forms', Kröller-Müller Museum, 2017
Jean Arp (1886-1966) was a Franco-German sculptor, painter and poet, as well as being an influential artist in the European avant-garde movement. In 2017 the Kröller-Müller Museum is organising the first major retrospective of the artist's work in the Netherlands since the 1960s. The focus of the exhibition will be on the continuous interplay between visual art and poetry in Arp's oeuvre and the humour and playfulness in his work. In addition to some 80 visual works - drawings, collages, paintings, wood carvings and sculptures - poems, writings and publications penned by Arp are on display.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €40,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on display from 15 May 2017 to 17 September 2017.

Eye Attack, Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, 2017
The Stedelijk Museum Schiedam has had the special opportunity to take over the exhibition
Eye Attack - Op Art and kinetic art from the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humblebaek,
Denmark. Op Art had its glory days in the period 1960-1970; it was an international movement
in which optical illusions played a major role. The museum hopes that this exhibition of about
80 representative works from this accessible and popular movement will reach a wide audience.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €25,000 towards this exhibition, which will be from 25 February to 18 June 2017.

Slow Food: Still Lives from the Dutch Golden Age, Mauritshuis, The Hague, 2017
The Mauritshuis is working on an exhibition on still lives with made tables from the Dutch Golden Age.
The museum aims to give an idea of the origin and development of this sub-genre of still life painting,
which flourished at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Special loans will be coming to The Hague,
including pieces by Clara Peeters, one of the few female painters of the era and a pioneer in the development of still life painting.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €45,000 towards this project.

'Gardens of Wonder' is a project focused on presenting 'land art' or 'site-specific art'. It will involve filming a total of six sculpture gardens in various parts of the world, in which nature and (in many cases custom-made) art works reinforce one another. These documentaries ('filmed exhibitions') are being broadcast on the Dutch public television channel NPO 2 and are being shown at a number of museums in the Netherlands, including Museum Beelden aan Zee, Museum Belvédère and the Drents Museum.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €25,000 towards this project.

Jean-Antoine Watteau, Teylers Museum, Haarlem, 2017
Teylers Museum is organising an exhibition on the work of the 18th-century French artist Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684-1721). His style of painting, also known as 'fêtes galantes', depicts people disporting themselves amorously in lush parks. Displaying real feelings contrasted with the formal rules of prevailing tradition in academic art at the time. Watteau is considered an avant-garde artist whose work ran counter to the style in vogue with King Louis XIV and court culture. His elegant and refined work represents a break with the heavy Baroque and marks the beginning of Rococo.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 30,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 1 February and 15 May 2017.

From the autumn of 2017 the Hermitage Amsterdam is exhibiting a survey of the Dutch Masters collection
from the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg. A total of 60 Dutch masters are coming to Amsterdam,
most of which (about 50 works) have rarely if ever been exhibited in the Netherlands since the 17th century.
It is a generous selection of works and has many items from the State Hermitage Museum's Dutch collection:
famous and beautiful works by Gerard Dou, Gerard ter Borch, Willem Kalf, Frans Hals and four paintings by Rembrandt,
including the masterpieces Flora and Young Woman at a Mirror.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 100,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 7 October 2017 and 28 May 2018.

'Jean Tinguely: Machine Spectacle', Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, 2016-2017
The Swiss artist Jean Tinguely (1925-1991) was part of the Nouveau Réalisme artistic movement and is best known for his kinetic art works. The Stedelijk Museum is organising a major retrospective of Tinguely in 2016, with an overview starting with his wire constructions from the 1950s through to his large multi-media installations from the 1980s. As well as exhibiting the cheerful character of Tinguely's art, the more complex themes in his work are also highlighted, including (self) destruction and death. The thirteen Tinguely art works in the Stedelijk Museum collection are being restored, and special loans from international museum and private collections are coming to Amsterdam for this exhibition.
The Turing Foundation is supporting this exhibition with a contribution of €50,000, earmarked for foreign loans.

'Rembrandt's Naked Truth', Rembrandthuis, Amsterdam, 2016
The Rembrandt House Museum is organising an exhibition on drawing nude models in Rembrandt van Rijn's time. Fifty works by Rembrandt, his predecessors, pupils and contemporaries are being showcased to illustrate how nude studies were produced and what the artists' approach was. Nude studies signed by Rembrandt are extremely rare (there are only three) and The Art Institute of Chicago is lending Rembrandt's drawing entitled Female Nude Seated on a Stool (1661) to the Rembrandt House Museum. This unique work perfectly illustrates the artist's method - and is indispensible for this exhibition - but comes with high loan costs.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €19,000 towards this exhibition, earmarked for the loan costs of Female Nude Seated on a Stool (1661) by Rembrandt.

Purchase of 'Talmudic Anatomy' by Meijer de Haan, Jewish Historical Museum, Amsterdam, 2015-2016
The Jewish Historical Museum has been given the opportunity to acquire the painting 'Talmudic Anatomy' (1880) by Meijer de Haan. Popularly known as 'Is the chicken kosher?' this is an allegorical genre painting and one of Meijer de Haan's key works from his Jewish oeuvre. De Haan's life and career as an artist is exemplary of the emancipation of the Jewish community in the 19th century. This potential acquisition has been a long-held ambition of the museum, and it is an exceptional supplement to the museum's collection and to the Collection Netherlands project.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €10,000 towards the purchase of the painting 'Talmudic Anatomy' (1880) by Meijer de Haan.

Main supporter Alma-Tadema Exhibition, Fries Museum, Leeuwarden, 2015-2017
The Fourth Turing Award I was awarded to the Fries Museum on 21 May 2015. In the run-up to Leeuwarden's year as the European Capital of Culture,
the Fries Museum is organising an exhibition on Lourens - Sir Lawrence - Alma-Tadema, the originally Frisian painter who created an unprecedented furore in Victorian Britain. Alma-Tadema looked in an innovative way at space in both his work and how people moved in it. His dreamy and sometimes also hysterical paintings were reviled for generations after World War I, when a changing art world harshly judged the Victorian era. This reached its nadir in the 1960s, when his work was unsold at asking prices as low as €300. He has been reassessed more recently. One of his works recently set a new auction record for Victorian paintings, having been sold for 35 million dollars. This makes it all the more ambitious to attempt now, twenty years after the Van Gogh Museum did so for the first time ever, to bring his work together.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €500,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between October 2016 and February 2017.

Main supporter Caesar van Everdingen, Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar, 2015-2017
The Fourth Turing Award II was presented to the
Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar on 21 May 2015 to enable
the exhibition 'Flattering Brush. Caesar van Everdingen (1616-1678)'.
On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Caesar van Everdingen's birth,
the Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar is organising an exhibition on this little known,
but very intriguing, exceptional and outstanding seventeenth century painter.
In the place in which he was born and lived: Alkmaar.
Alongside the eleven of his paintings that the museum owns, some 30 works on loan are coming from abroad.
This will enable the exhibition to give a worthy overview of his oeuvre and his specific qualities.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €150,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between September 2016 and January 2017.

Nineveh, Dutch National Museum of Antiquities, Leiden, 2017-2018
In the first millennium BC Nineveh was the world's largest city and the capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. The Assyrian Empire and Nineveh collapsed in 612 BC. As a result of excavations in the 19th century its material culture has been scattered over museums across the world. The National Museum of Antiquities' 'Nineveh' exhibition in Leiden will reunite this material for the first time, and bring the city back to life.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €50,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between October 2017 and March 2017.

Hercules Segers, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, 2016-2017
In 2016 the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam is organising an exhibition on Hercules Segers (1589/90 - 1633/38), one of the most intriguing artists of the Dutch Golden Age. His work is distinguished by its individualistic and timeless character, resulting in him being an inspiration to generations of artists and art lovers. Exhibiting prints of all his etchings and all known paintings is the ideal manner in which to enable a large Dutch and international audience to get acquainted with the originality and imagination of this relatively unknown artist.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €80,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between October 2016 and January 2017.

Munch / Van Gogh expositie, Van Gogh Museum, 2014-2016
The artists Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) and Edvard Munch (1863-1944) are both renowned for their emotionally charged paintings and drawings,
their innovative styles, and their troubled lives. Both wanted to modernise art, and to that end they resorted to universal, expressive imagery.
In close collaboration with the Munch Museum in Oslo, the Van Gogh Museum will be organising the exhibition ‘Munch / Van Gogh’,
highlighting the artistic kinship between the two artists.
The Turing Foundation will be donating € 100,000 to the exhibition, which will run from September 2015 up until and including January 2016.

Acquisition of Jan Asselijn 'The breach of the St. Anthony's Dike', Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, 2015
Painter Jan Asselijn was an eyewitness of the breach of the St. Anthony's Dike in Amsterdam in 1651. He captured the news in a single image, like a photo journalist would do nowadays; accurate but at the same time dramatic. The height difference between the water on either side of the dike shows how much physical energy was being exerted on the dike before it collapsed, and with how much force the Zuiderzee's water is now surging through the breach towards two villages that were was still beyond Amsterdam at the time (Houtewael and Jaap Hannes), and also towards the then newly reclaimed Diemermeer Lake. Left, next to the breach on the dike, two men in bright red and blue cloaks are deliberating in the midst of the storm; on the other side of the broken dike a man is waving and seems to be shouting something while holding his hat on in the wind. Behind the dike a clear blue sky is already breaking through the cloud.
The painting was only recently 'discovered', after being part of a French family's collection for centuries. The Turing Foundation contributed €100,000 to enable the Rijksmuseum to acquire the painting. Acquisitions are not included in the Turing Foundation's funding policy. A one-off exemption has been made to purchase this particular canvas, which is both of historical and art historical importance.

'The Oasis of Matisse', Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, 2015
Henri Matisse (1868-1954) was one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century,
and one of the founders of modern art. Matisse was confined to a wheelchair for the final years of his life,
which forced to work in a different way. He became skilled in making colourful collages from paper cut-outs (découpages).
The Stedelijk Museum AMsterdam intends to organise an exhibition of these cut paper collages from April 2015,
centred on the masterpiece 'La perruche et la sirene' from the museum's own collection.
In addition to juxtaposing this work with other cut-outs by the artist, it will demonstrate that the cut-outs are a continuation of earlier work by Matisse.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 100,000 towards this exhibition.

'Geisha', National Museum of Ethnology, Leiden, 2014-2015
The national Museum of Ethnology - owner of the largest collection of nineteenth-century Japanese art outside of Japan - is organising an exhibition on the number-one Japanese icon: the geisha. Her white face, red lips, and precious kimono make her the stereotype of Japanese beauty. The world of the geisha has been veiled in mystery and secrecy, which was reason for the National museum of Ethnology to delve into the history, position and role of the geisha in Japanese society.
The Turing Foundation will contribute € 50,000 for the loan costs involved in the exhibition, which will be on display in Leiden from October 2014 - April 2015.

Turing Museum Bus - Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, 2011-2014
For school and schoolteachers, free, comfortable and safe transport is the key factor in their decision to take their pupils to visit museums. For the Turing Foundation, this was reason for the financing of the first Turing Museum Bus in Rotterdam in 2008.
Starting in 2012, the three largest museums at the Amsterdam Museum Square
(Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum and Van Gogh Museum) want to offer school children from the Amsterdam suburbs a joint programme of the highlights of their collections as well. After all, teachers of these schools, too, consider transport to be the one thing that prevents them from taking their pupils to see a museum. By means of the Turing Museum Square Bus, the three museums want to welcome 25,000 children from grades 6-8 in three years' time (approximately 20% of all school children within a 60-km radius from Amsterdam). For many, it will be their first-ever museum visit.
In total, the Turing Foundation will donate € 275,000 for the startup and transportation costs (€ 60.000 in 2014).

Free transport to Boijmans van Beuningen and Chabot museums, 2011-2014
For schools, free, comfortable and safe transport is a major factor in their decision to
take their students to visit museums. Since October 1, 2008,
the Turing Foundation has therefore been financing a
Turing Museum Bus
that takes children from the Rotterdam area to and from the
Museum Boijmans van Beuningen and the
Chabot Museum for free. The plan is to provide museum transport for 10,000 children every year.
In a previous phase, the Turing Foundation already invested € 120,000 in the project,
and now donates € 40,000 to keep the bus driving until 2014.

Main patron Marino Marini tentoonstelling, Museum De Fundatie, Zwolle, 2013-2014
Mario Marini is one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century. Few people know he was also a painter en a drawer. The exhibition 'Mario Marino - painter, drawer, sculptor' focuses on the major importance of Marini's paintings and drawings. Not just by looking at his trailblazing sculptures, which wouldn't have been conceivable if not for his experiments with lines and colour, but mostly as works in their own right that are a definite part of his artistic vision. The exhibition shows 30 sculptures and 120 paintings and drawings, and has been realized in collaboration with the Fondazione Marino Marini in Pistoia, and the Museo Marino Marini in Florence.
With a € 50,000 contribution, the Turing Foundation is the main patron of the exhibition,
which can be visited from September 29, 2013, up to and including March 16, 2014.

From September 14, 2013 through February 28, 2014, the Hermitage will host an exhibition on 'Les Nabis', a group of French artists from around 1900 who were in search of a new way of painting. With their 'flat' paintings, well-defined lines and unmixed colours, they were considered the prophets ('Nabis' is Hebrew for prophet) of abstract art. In light of the exhibition, Ivan Morozov's Music Room and the paintings especially designed for the room, Maurice Denis' The Story of Psyche', will be reconstructed.
In total, the Turing Foundation will be donating € 90,000 to the exhibition, allowing for the reconstruction of the Music Salon.

Main patron Mike Kelley, a retrospective, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, 2009-2013
The exhibition concept
Mike Kelley, A Retrospective 1973 - 2010,
submitted by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam,
has won the Turing Art Award 2009-2010.
The Turing Art Award is a € 450,000 donation to be awarded biennially to a Dutch museum
for an exceptional exhibition concept.
Sixteen museums submitted concepts. The Mike Kelley retrospective
was deemed best in quality, originality, and concept.
Mike Kelley is regarded as one of the most important artists
to enter the art scene since the seventies.
His work is technically varied, complex in both form and content,
and has strong psychical and emotional undertones.
A complete solo exhibition of this Californian artist has never before been organised in the Netherlands.
It promises to become a both fascinating and inspirational event, due to the work itself
as well as to the way it will be presented - hopefully a sign of the new policy of the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum.
The exhibition can be expected to make a large new audience to become interested in modern art.
More information about the Turing Art Award can be found
on the Turing Art Award Website.

Diane Arbus (1923-1971) is one of the most fascinating and important photographers of the second
half of the 20th century. Never before have The Netherlands exhibited an extensive retrospective
of her work and it is unlikely to happen again anytime soon. It is especially the choice and
quality of the works on display (mainly vintage prints, printed by the artist herself) that give
the exhibition its extraordinary quality. This FOAM project has been nominated with
the Turing Art Award 2009.
With a € 100,000 patronage, the Turing Foundation is the main patron of the exhibition,
enabling FOAM to enter into a contract to realise this ambitious project.

The project was nominated for the
Turing Art Award 2011.

Main patron Louise Bourgeois - Double Sexus, Den Haag Municipal Museum, 2010-2011
Louise Bourgeois (1911) is regarded as one of the most important artists still alive today. She was recently honoured with large-scale exhibitions in Tate Modern and the Centre Pompidou. The Den Haag Municipal Museum, in association with the Berlin National Museum, wants to confront her work with that of German artist Hans Bellmer (1902-1975). It was only in 2006 that the Centre Pompidou did an extensive retrospective of Bellmer. Both artists find their origin in the surrealist tradition, their work displaying a search for identity, the relationship between men and women and a fascination for the human body. This exhibition is the first to show works of these two international artists in the Netherlands.
With a € 50,000 donation, the Turing Foundation will be the exhibition's main patron. Double Sexus will be on display from 11 September 2010 until 16 January 2011 in the Den Haag Municipal Museum.

On 8 October 2010 an exhibition of Naturalist painting will be opened at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam,
presenting huge paintings from collections all over the world. Never before has Naturalism been showcased on such a
scale in the Netherlands. The way it is combined with photography and film from that period is most appropriate.

their time. It will be a unique and attractive exhibition that appeals to a large audience, giving a fine portrait
of the era. In May 2009 this project was nominated for the Turing Award 2009.

In the Autumn of 2009 The Singer Museum in Laren and the Teylers Museum in Haarlem will simultaneously present a special exhibition of the popularly acclaimed painter Anton Mauve (1838-1888).
The Haarlem exhibition will focus on the development of Mauve's artistry from student to master, his religious background and the relationship between Mauve and Van Gogh.
In the Laren exhibition the emphasis will be on Mauve's influence on the genesis of the so-called "Laren School of Painting" and on realising a retrospective of a number of "American Mauves": works by Mauve that almost immediately after their creation were sold to the USA and became part of private collections.
By contributing a total sum of € 60,000 the Turing Foundation will act as the main patron of both exhibitions, which together will offer the largest retrospective ever of Mauve in the Netherlands.

The First Turing Art Award, 2009
One of the aims of the Turing Foundation is to enable a greater number of people to enjoy art in Dutch museums. This is why in December 2008 the Turing Foundation initiated the Turing Art Award, a € 450,000 donation to be presented biennially to a single exhibition. In this way the Turing Foundation is able to offer key advance contributions to exhibitions that would otherwise be unlikely to be staged, with works of art that would otherwise only be on view in museums abroad. All Dutch Museums may compete for the new Turing Art Award.
For more information, see the Turing Art Award Website.

Main patron Paris Central, CoBrA Museum, Amstelveen, 2008-2010
The Cobra Movement was established in 1948 in Paris, the capital of European art of that time. In those years, the most important Cobra artists Appel and Jorn became part of a larger European network of (abstract) artists who worked according to the rules of the expressionist school. They are the artists of the post-war 'École de Paris'. In recent years, they have attracted a lot of renewed attention.
The CoBrA Museum continuously brings the works of Cobra artists, their contemporaries and 'kindred spirits' to the notice. In 2009, the museum organises the special exhibition Paris Central, which will focus on the School of Paris and will feature paintings by artists such as Bram and Geer van Velde, Jean Dubuffet and Henri Michaux. Many works originate from leading private and foreign collections.
By donating € 100,000, the Turing Foundation is the main patron of the exhibition Paris Central, which can be visited from September 2009 until January 2010 in the CoBrA Museum.

Jan Lievens was a prodigy child who lived in the seventeenth century. He established himself as an independent master painter when he was only ten years old. His painting greatly influenced the work of Rembrandt. Due to a collaboration with two prestigious American partners (the Washington National Gallery and the Milwaukee Museum of Fine Art), the Rembrandthuis has succeeded in bringing 90 loans from all over the world to the Netherlands for this exhibition. One third of the objects shown in this special exhibition has never before been shown in the Netherlands.
As its main contributor, the Turing Foundation donates € 60,000 to the exhibition Jan Lievens (1607-1674) - A Dutch Master Rediscovered. The exhibition will be held from May 17 to August 9, 2009 at the Amsterdam Rembrandthuis.
