Herbert Foundation Opens in Ghent with 'As if it could'
On June 20, 2013, the Herbert Foundation was inaugurated in Ghent, showcasing an extensive array of conceptual, minimal, arte povera, and land art spanning from the 1960s to the 1990s. The opening exhibition, titled 'As if it could, ouverture,' features 60 pieces of art and 250 archival documents from the collection of Annick and Anton Herbert. Situated at 106 Raas van Gaverestraat, this foundation is accessible to the public, contrasting with the Daled couple, who opted to sell their collection to MoMA New York. The exhibition, which runs until October 26, 2013, highlights the interplay between artworks and archival materials, including a unique invitation from Marcel Broodthaers' 1964 exhibition.
