Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen produced its new Collection Book in collaboration with graphic designer Joost Grootens. When compiling the Collection Book, Joost Grootens (b. 1971) used two guiding principles: make a complete inventory of artworks in the museum’s collection and explain how the museum works with these artefacts. The selection of works in the book was made by the whole museum. Hanneke de Man authored the explanatory texts for the themes in the Collection Book, while the object and oeuvre descriptions were written by the curators. Here is the best Books First blog.
