2nd Teylers-Delineavit Symposium a Big Success

7 June 2024 / Haarlem

The second biennual symposium organised by Teylers Museum and Delineavit at Sculpsit took place at the museum on Friday 7 June. It attracted nearly a hundred participants. Curators, registrars, professors, art dealers, collectors, and others interested in the graphic arts, mainly from Holland and a few from Belgium, filled the museum’s auditorium. Several speakers gave presentations on the topic Art on Paper for the Public (see the preceding News item below). They gave an illuminating glimpse into the early history of their museum or university collections of prints and drawings up to about 1900. This was concluded by a lively panel discussion led by Marleen Ram, curator of Teylers Museum and member of the Delineavit editorial board, as well as organiser of this special event. At the end of the meeting, a surprise tribute was paid to one of the participants, former Teylers chief curator Carel van Tuyll van Serooskerken, who was presented with the Teylers Medal of Honour as a token of appreciation for his decades of dedication to the museum.

Stijn Alsteens new director of the Fondation Custodia

1 December 2023 / The Hague

On 1 April 2024 Stijn Alsteens will take up the position of director of the Fondation Custodia in Paris, the main sponsor of our journal. After his arthistorical studies at the Universities of Leuven and Amsterdam, Alsteens started his career at the Fondation Custodia as a curator, from 2001 to 2006, when he moved to The Metropolitan Museum’s department of Drawings and Prints for 10 years, returning to Europe in 2016 to head the department of Old Master Drawings at Christie’s in London and Paris. Belgian born and thus bilingual Dutch-French and a renowned expert of Old Master drawings with an international network, as well as a former curator very familiar with the Lugt Collection, Alsteens is ideally equipped to succeed Ger Luijten, who unexpectedly passed away on 19 December last year. We wish him and his staff much pleasure and success!
