Haarlem and surroundings - THE COLLECTION A.M. VAN DEN BROEK

Haarlem and surroundings - THE COLLECTION A.M. VAN DEN BROEK (part 2)

 

Mr A.M. (Ton) van den Broek (1932-1995) was a born and bred ‘Haarlemmer’, who together with his brother ran the menswear shop Van Den Broek in Haarlem. In the 1960s he developed an interest in prints and books relating to Haarlem and surroundings. Through his frequent visits to antiquarian bookshops and auction houses and by advertising in local papers he managed to amass a large and varied collection of ‘Haarlemiana’, which he studied in depth and catalogued in detail. When his collection of prints and books on Haarlem neared completion, he started buying drawings and watercolours, many of which are of Haarlem interest, and created a fine collection. A second selection of his collection of books and prints of Haarlem and surroundings and his collection of drawings and watercolours is included in this auction, all lots indicated with his provenance and mostly with his collector's mark.

Drawings, Plans, Letters etc. from the Archive of Gunther Stamm

 

“Among the leaders of modern architecture in the first half of the twentieth century, one finds an impressive variety of personalities, at both the artistic and the human levels. Architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius or Le Corbusier were as innovative and distinct in the field of architectural design as they were extraordinary and sometime eccentric human beings. In each case a considerable amount of intellectual complexity and non-ordinary taste interacted with the more specialized field of architectural planning. Jacobus Johannes Pieter Oud (1890-1963) was no exception (...)” [Gunter Stamm, The Architecture of J.J.P. Oud 1906-1963 (Tallahassee, 1978)]..

The collection of drawings and documents from the estate of Gunther Stamm (1940-1982) presented in this auction (lot no.2466-2481), illustrates the important role that J.J.P. Oud played in the history of modern architecture, from his beginnings, his acquintance with De Stijl and Bauhaus and his public housing projects to his projects for i.a. town councils and large business firms. The drawings provide an interesting overview of all the stages of design and show the enormous versatility of Oud's architectural designs.
