6. 'Conceptual Art in The Netherlands and Belgium 1965-1975', Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (2002)
creator(s) Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam

'Glass (one and three)' was loaned for ’Conceptual Art in The Netherlands en Belgium 1965-1975: Artists, Collectors, Galleries, Documents, Exhibitions, Events’ in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, April 20 - June 12, 2002. It was for the first time that the question of replacement of the photograph was addressed. This was initiated and insisted upon by Rudi Fuchs, then director of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. It was the first time a new photograph was made for the work that related to the site where the work was going to be installed. The installation view shows the work containing a photograph of the glass situated on the parquet floor of the Stedelijk Museum. The installation had regained a site related character similar to when the work was first realized at the Visser's apartment. After the show the used photograph was given to the Kröller-Müller Museum, where it is now kept in storage as a document referring to its installation history. It is kept as an inactive part of the installation, only to be used at the specific site depicted in the photograph. In the catalogue of the exhibition the old photograph of the work from 1995 is depicted, the same as in the Visser catalogue from 2000, showing how the Kröller-Müller Museum had presented the work before.
