Karel Appel’s work belongs with that of Asger Jorn, Pierre Alechinsky and Corneille in the central core of the SMAK collection. Even today it is a mainstay on which museum shows are founded. SMAK is therefore especially delighted to present a sizeable selection of recent work by this almost eighty-year-old artist. The exhibition comprises twenty monumental sculptures from the nineties. These works will be shown in an unusual combination with a selection of the artist’s poems.
