Some memories of books #3 . Rini Dippel (ed.) – Daan van Golden: Works 1962–1991 . Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, 1991 . “This book was the more in-depth introduction to Daan van Golden (1936–2017) for me. Besides the great selection of works in it, my favourite part is ‘Art is not a contest’ a statement that Van Golden read on receiving the PC Art Award on November 25th 1990, in the Amstelkerk, Amsterdam. A beautiful and humorous compilation of quotes and anecdotes that mysteriously is concluded with the words: ‘Speech is silence. Silver is gold. I have spoken.’(…)” Read more on our blog S-P-A-C-E, link in bio 🔗👆 .
