A huge influx of commissions for commemorative monuments began after World War II: some 3,900 were made between 1945 and 1965. With archive material and preliminary studies, the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History shows the genesis and making process of famous monuments by four sculptors: Mari Andriessen, Willem Reijers, Charlotte van Pallandt and Fred Carasso.
In addition to archival material from the RKD, preliminary studies and models in plaster and bronze from the collection of Museum Beelden aan Zee are included in the exhibition.
