Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven / AMVK

1976

Drawing, framed: 38.5 x 47.5 cm, drawing: 27 x 36 cm.
Materials: east-indian ink, pencil, paper

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp / Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK7531).

“The line drawing is like a skeleton, a framework that has needed quite some time to become what it is. It is surrounded by possibilities, the flesh of thought. Colour indicates what is useful, what we may use our thoughts and our science for. Drawing is a form of understanding; it makes sure that we can narrow down our observations and make them manageable. Recurrent themes are the relation between Humankind and the animals, between intelligence and intuition, between human creation and technology, between self-image and human-made surroundings. This collection of drawings consists of a combination of pictures from the personal sphere, pictures from memory and imaginings and fragments from the surrounding image and word culture.”

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.
