Op de huid
Close examination
In this book light is cast on the art collection held by Sint Lucas Andreas Hospital (now OLVG West).
"A hospital is always in a state of flux. In a place where the cycle of human existence moves through all its phases, where people come and go, we long for a firm foothold. And then we have the function of art."
Like the way in which a doctor examines the entire patient but also looks at cell-level, this book looks at the art from a distance in the typical hospital surroundings and in close up. The works of art held by the collection differ greatly, but in the book they get the same treatment, a close examination.
