Item: Embedded Cities

Paul Van Hoeydonck

1958

Sculpture, 11 x 11 x 4 cm.
Materials: plexiglass

Collection: M HKA, Antwerp - Donated by the artist, 2007 (Inv. no. S0377).

Paul Van Hoeydonck played a significant role within the post-war avant-garde in Antwerp and beyond. From the late 1950s onwards, his work reflects the fascination with the ‘space race' that gripped the world at the time. In works such as Embedded Cities, he sought to evoke the cosmos on a human scale. The movement and gaze of the viewer continually reveal new perspectives on a hidden, underlying world.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. 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.
