This painting represents the time we live in. Although the parts seemingly have no relationship, the total picture makes you look closer. It is more complex than at first sight.

Leon Kossoff, Fidelma in a Red Chair, 1981

Oil on board, 162 x 132 cm. Presented by Piano Nobile

Great work. Takes you the first moment you see it. It is rough, sculptural. Take a look at the colour composition!

Gertrude Greene, Untitled (40-c), 1940

Paper collage, 21 x 27.9 cm. Presented by ACA Galleries

Collage of brown and black shapes

Very intriguing composition. Desolate and at the same time detailed. One wants to look closer to find out what happened.

About Piet Oudolf

Piet Oudolf portrait - white man with blonde-white hair
Piet Oudolf

Piet Oudolf started his landscape and garden design practice with his wife Anja in 1976 in Haarlem. They moved to Hummelo in the eastern part of the Netherlands in 1982 to start a nursery, growing rare and hard to find unusual but garden-worthy perennials. The nursery was mainly overseen by Anja. Piet Oudolf's work became well known by the more radical ideas showed in publications about the Hummelo garden. After 1986 he picked up garden and planting design again. Notable projects include The High Line (New York, US), RHS Wisley (Surrey, UK) and Hauser & Wirth Somerset (UK). Discover more here.
