Over 130 years, that modest contribution to a nineteenth-century salon exhibition has developed into an established position at one of the world’s most influential stages for contemporary art. Commissioned by the Mondriaan Fund, art historian Nathalie Zonnenberg has researched all Dutch entries and presents them in 56 focused chapters, one for each edition in which the Netherlands has taken part. The result is a comprehensive historical overview that reveals how the Netherlands has represented itself in Venice over this period, and the artistic, cultural, and socio-political considerations that have shaped each entry. www.mondriaanfonds.nl
