Amsterdam in de jaren zestig. Het Spui met het Lieverdje. Schuin daar tegenover begon de eigenwijze tukker Herman Krikhaar zijn galerie. Een galerie waar geen opening voorbij ging zonder dat ‘tout le monde’ er geweest was: Max Heymans, Jacobine en Alexander Orlow, Cees Nooteboom, Mies Bouwman, Jan des Bouvrie, Paul Huf, Toon Hermans en Jan Vrijman.
Minstens zo divers waren de kunstenaars die er exposeerden: de CoBrA schilders, Antonio Saaura, Anton Heyboer, Paul de Lussanet, Richard Smeets, Kees Verwey, Marc Chagall, Picasso en vele andere. Een kaleidoscopisch tijdsbeeld van de 25 jaar waarin ‘krik’ de aandacht op zijn galerie gevestigd wist te houden.

Herman Krikhaar, Works on Paper is published fifteen years after Herman Krikhaar, paintings tableaux. This volume surveys the years when Herman Krikhaar worked on canvas and paper, which he realized with enormous energy and concentration. This volume’s emphasis is on his works on paper, which were created as independent artworks, sometimes serving as painting studies. The material – various sorts of paper, wallpaper, or cardboard etc. – is fertile ground for experimentation and serves as an inspiring medium for his endless stream of ideas. In Amsterdam, as well as in the South of France, he created hundreds of works on paper, which can be read as a journal of impressive, sad, funny, and fantastic moments. The incredible power and vitality that radiates from his work is striking.
