Collage, 2 x (85 x 85 cm).
Materials: paper, canvas, photo, xerography

Collection: M HKA/ Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK005500).

From 1970 onwards, Deleu worked with T.O.P. office to build up an architectural and artistic body of work. During a trip to the United States, Deleu was struck by the ‘twin towers’ of the World Trade Centre in New York and by a fallen sequoia tree in California. According to Deleu, we can only get a sense of the size and volume of towers if one tower lies flat next to the other and we can walk alongside them. The overarching title of this research is Schaal en Perspectief [Scale and Perspective].

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
