Museum Voorlinden marks its tenth anniversary with the exhibition Celebrating the Icons of Art, pairing contemporary works from its collection with twentieth-century pieces from other collections. The thematic layout creates contrasts, such as Pipilotti Rist’s video work echoing Tracey Emin’s neon heart. Exhibits include Damien Hirst’s floral paintings and Francis Bacon’s In Memory of George Dyer alongside Latifa Echakhch’s broken clocks. While major names draw attention, smaller works like Ryan Gander’s mouse sculpture also engage visitors. The exhibition explores themes of impermanence and connection, running until March 7 in Wassenaar.
