Birds
het puttertje, mens en vogelOnze blijvende fascinatie voor vogels door de ogen van de internationaal gerenommeerde (kunst)historicus Simon Schama ‘Geen enkel ander schepsel dan de vogel heeft zich zo obsessief en alomtegenwoordig in onze rusteloze, aardse verbeelding genesteld.’ – Simon Schama Van Icarus tot Peter Pan – wie droomt er niet van vliegen? Vogels belichamen onze verlangens, angsten en fantasieën. In deze publicatie onderzoeken internationaal gerenommeerd (kunst)historicus Simon Schama en directeur van het Mauritshuis Martine Gosselink de fascinerende relatie tussen mens en vogel aan de hand van kunst, literatuur en cultuurgeschiedenis. Het wereldberoemde Puttertje van Carel Fabritius, Picasso’s Duif, Brancusi’s Vogel in de ruimte, een Egyptische valkenmummie, een verenjurk van Iris van Herpen: dit boek is een visuele en literaire reis door eeuwen van vogelverbeelding. Kers op de taart is een prachtige bloemlezing met vogelverhalen uit onder andere Het Gilgamesj-eposen Duizenden-een-nacht, én vogelpoëzie van schrijvers als Rabindranath Tagore, Ted Hughes, Bob Marley en Rūmī. Met tekstbijdragen van Simon Schama, Martine Gosselink, Laura Cumming, Stefan Hertmans, Philip Hoare, Eva Meijer en Adrienne Quarles van Ufford. Deze publicatie verschijnt naar aanleiding van de tentoonstelling BIRDS – Curated by The Goldfinch & Simon Schama in Mauritshuis, Den Haag van 12 februari tot 7 juni 2026.

Anselm Kiefer. Sag mir wo die Blumen sind
De gerenommeerde Britse historicus Simon Schama schrijft het hoofdessay, waarin hij Kiefers ongeëvenaarde belang in de kunstgeschiedenis bepleit. Schama reisde speciaal hiervoor naar de studio van Kiefer in Croissy voor een uitgebreid gesprek met de kunstenaar. Kunsthistorica Antje von Graevenitz gaat onder meer in op de vraag hoe het werk van Kiefer in Nederland werd ontvangen. Anselm Kiefer zelf vertelt in de catalogus waar zijn fascinatie voor het werk van Vincent van Gogh vandaan komt. Onderzoeker bij het Stedelijk Tamara Klopper voegt hieraan een overzicht toe van de belangrijkste momenten in Kiefers leven en carrière.

Birds
The Goldfinch, Birds, Art and Us‘No other creatures have fixed themselves so obsessively and ubiquitously in our restless, earth-stuck imagination as birds… the fixation painted, imprinted, sculpted, filmed in our art.’– Simon Schama From Icarus to Peter Pan, who hasn’t dreamt of flying?
