Ed van der Elsken. Up Close

Rijksmuseum · Amsterdam, Netherlands · 19 Jun to 13 Sep 2026

ClosedConfirmed 1 Sep 2026 · check before you travelFrom the museum's own page

This exhibition has closed

It closed on 13 September 2026. The page stays because an exhibition history is evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its provenance and this archive cites it.

On now at Rijksmuseum: Carel Visser in the Rijksmuseum Gardens, The Van Eeghen Drawing Book.

Visiting Rijksmuseum

Photographs, contact sheets, notebooks and darkroom experiments by Ed van der Elsken across nine galleries, tracing his process from the early 1950s to the late 1980s. The Rijksmuseum flags this as a last chance before it closes 13 September.

The Iconotheca Letter

One artwork and its story every Tuesday, with the picture: who owned it, what it made, and what closes soon in the exhibition calendar. No promotion, and nothing we cannot cite.
