Museum Object

Museum Object is a unique small size contemporary modern cube sculpture by the famous Dutch artist couple Nel Haringa and Fred Olijve. The cube sculpture consists of a few dozen hand cut hand polished plexiglass elements carefully stacked together inside a plexiglass housing. This results in a breathtaking one-of-a-kind sculptural construction with a unique and unmistakeable identity.

This Museum Object sculpture is the first of a new body of work created by Haringa + Olijve based on a large scale object (320x120x80 cm) that was made by them in 2004 for the Drents Museum in Assen (The Netherlands) to celebrate the museum’s 150 years anniversary. It is authenticated by a characteristic signature on the bottom of the sculpture.
