Frieze Masters: Constant
This year The Mayor Gallery in collaboration with BorzoGallery, Amsterdam is showing a retrospective of the Dutch artist Constant at Frieze Masters.
Constant (b. 1920 Amsterdam - d. 2005 Utrecht, The Netherlands) is one of Holland’s most important and innovative artists from post-war times. He was co-founder of the international CoBrA movement, he was initiator and inventor of his visionary New Babylon projects in the fifties and sixties, a more politically engaged artist in the seventies during the Vietnam war, but also a vibrant, almost romantic colourist in his major late paintings.
