Jan Schoonhoven: Conversation between Antoon Melissen and David Leiber
David Zwirner presented one of the first major exhibitions of Dutch artist Jan Schoonhoven’s work in America in over a decade, at the gallery’s 537 West 20th Street location from January 9 - February 14, 2015. Organized by David Zwirner Director David Leiber, this was the gallery's inaugural exhibition of the artist’s work and featured an extensive group of his sculptural wall reliefs and works on paper from the late 1950s to the mid-1970s.
On January 9, David Leiber and scholar Antoon Melissen gave a guided tour of the exhibition at the gallery. A Berlin-based writer, art historian, and independent scholar specializing in art of the 1950s through the 1970s, Melissen contributed new scholarship including an essay and an illustrated chronology to the gallery’s eponymous exhibition catalogue, published by David Zwirner Books in 2015.
