Opening Anne Desmet

Thursday 20 November at 6pm. Walk-in from 17:45 hrs. 

Opening speech by director Margriet Schavemaker, in the presence of Anne Desmet.

Printmaker Anne Desmet (b. 1964, Liverpool) creates razor-sharp prints in which she plays with perspective and architecture. Like Escher, she excels in transformations and metamorphoses. She too created her first architectural work in Italy, and this had a lasting impact on her later urban landscapes. This autumn, Escher in The Palace will present the work of the acclaimed Desmet for the first time in the Netherlands, alongside that of one of her great sources of inspiration: M.C. Escher.
