Sonsbeek is an outdoor sculpture exhibition founded in 1949, that takes place in Park Sonsbeek in Arnhem, the Netherlands. It was originally meant to be a biennial exhibition, however it occurs on an irregular schedule.[1][2]
Sonsbeek was initiated in an attempt to repair the heavy damage the city had suffered during the Battle of Arnhem during the Second World War.[3]
The 1949 inaugural exhibition featured over 200 sculptures that were installed along the park’s pathways. It was attended by over 100,000 visitors.[2] The first installment included artists such as Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, and Pablo Picasso. Later exhibitions featured artists such as Jenny Holzer, Claes Oldenburg and others.[2]
The 1971 staging was the most well known, and often criticized, of the Sonsbeek exhibitions.[4] In that installment, curator Wim Bereem commissioned works outside the park, including Robert Smithson's land-reclamation earthwork, Broken Circle/Spiral Hill.[5]
The 1993 installment was curated by Valerie Smith, and included the artists Ann Hamilton, Mike Kelley, Annette Messager and others.[6]
The Sonsbeek 20→24 exhbition was slated to open in 2020, but was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
