vocabulary of solitude
In the spring of 2016 you could explore the magical world of artist Ugo Rondinone in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. He brought together new and existing works in a large installation like a colour spectrum revealing the various facets of existence. Forty-five life-size clown sculptures will form the centrepiece of his first solo exhibition in the Netherlands: Ugo Rondinone – Vocabulary of Solitude.
