ZERO: let us explore the stars

Fire, light, movement, space, demonstrations and performances. The Stedelijk proudly presents an historic survey of the innovative avant-garde group ZERO. With work by herman de vries, Armando, Henk Peeters, Jan Schoonhoven, Jan Henderikse, Piero Manzoni, Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein, Jean Tinguely, Yayoi Kusama and others.

In the 1950s and 60s, the ZERO movement experimented with the most innovative materials and media. Facing the aftermath of war and the harsh realities of reconstruction, the artists of this international movement dedicated themselves to building a new future for art. In 1962, the Stedelijk opened its doors for the first museum presentation of the international ZERO network (Nul, 1962). Three years later, the museum staged a more comprehensive exhibition (Nul 1965), an exhibition seen by many as a highpoint in the history of the network. Now, exactly 50 years after this second ZERO exhibition, the Stedelijk proudly presents an historic survey of this innovative avant-garde group.
