In association with the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam

An updated and expanded edition of the highly successful publication CoBrA: The colour of freedom, which was published in 2003 to accompany the large-scale exhibition of the same name, is being released to mark the opening of the renovated Stedelijk Museum Schiedam.
The Stedelijk Museum Schiedam holds one of the most comprehensive CoBrA collections in the Netherlands, including works by Karel Appel, Eugène Brands, Constant, Corneille, Jan Nieuwenhuijs, Anton Rooskens and Theo Wolvecamp. This publication provides a visually attractive, wide-ranging and colourful overview of this collection.

The volume's wealth of illustrations and comprehensive approach make it an exceptional record of the work of CoBrA movement in the Netherlands, much of which is unfamiliar. For the more specialized reader the book also offers a great deal of art-historical information about conservation, restoration and art policy.
