Jacqueline de Jong / Solo Exhibition at Meyer Riegger, Basel at Galerie Mueller
Coinciding with Kunsttage Basel, Meyer Riegger's exhibition at Galerie Mueller honors the late Dutch artist Jacqueline de Jong (1939–2024), who passed away at 85. Spanning over six decades, de Jong's work oscillated between Abstract Expressionism, New Figuration, and Pop Art, exploring themes of violence, humor, eroticism, and everyday banality. Born into a Jewish family in Enschede, she fled to Switzerland during WWII, returning to the Netherlands post-war. Her multilingualism and adaptability mirrored her artistic versatility, incorporating pop culture, politics, and art historical references into her works.
De Jong's career was marked by her engagement with the Situationist International, leading her to create *The Situationist Times* after being expelled from the group. Her art often reflected the Situationist concepts of 'détournement' and 'dérive', evident in her diverse media from paintings to protest posters and artist books. She also integrated unconventional materials like dried potatoes into her later works, showcasing her playful yet profound approach to art.
Her unconventional path included stints in Paris, where she worked for Christian Dior and with Cobra painter Karel Appel, and in London before joining the Stedelijk Museum. De Jong's influence is recognized posthumously with a retrospective at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale in November 2024, highlighting her significant contributions to modern art. Her work, known for its shape-shifting nature, continues to inspire through its bold exploration of form and content.
