- Details
On 28 January 2026, an expert meeting was held at Kunstmuseum Den Haag on the English artist Marlow Moss (1889-1958). The occasion was the recent acquisition of a suitcase containing more than a hundred sketches by this artist and their presentation in the museum.
Four guest speakers shared their different perspectives on the acquisition of the sketches, the way they fit within Moss’s oeuvre, and the relationship between that oeuvre and the artist’s personality. The lectures were followed by a discussion with the audience and a panel discussion involving curators from Dutch museums with works by Moss in their collections.
This publication brings together the four lectures in order to revive the discussion about Marlow Moss and her work, just as the expert meeting itself did.
