Rudi Fuchs Exhibition at Stedelijk Museum Explores Curatorial Legacy

The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam is hosting "Excitement - Exhibition by Rudi Fuchs," a retrospective of the influential Dutch curator and museum director. Running until October 2, 2016, the show is described by Fuchs himself as a "Documenta miniature." It traces his career from the 1970s onward, highlighting his distinctive curatorial approach characterized by a tension between the curved and the straight. Fuchs served as director of the Stedelijk Museum from 1993 to 2003 and was also director of the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven and the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague. He curated Documenta 7 in 1982 in Kassel, Germany. The exhibition features works from the Stedelijk collection selected by Fuchs, reflecting his personal vision and his impact on museum practice and exhibition-making over several decades.
