Expositions and publications
The collection was exhibited twice:
• ‘Jonge kunst/ Young Art 1990-1996. Océ van der Grinten collectie’, Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht, 1996
• ‘Is the painter Happy?’, Museum Van Bommel Van Dam, Venlo, 2003 (with the emphasis on acquisitions since 1996)
Both exhibitions were composed in cooperation with the museums’ curators: Alexander van Grevenstein, Aloys van de Berk, Ulco Mes and Thei Voragen. Accompanying catalogues were published. We strive to organise another exhibition within the next five years. Océ has no gallery space within its premises.
