2015. Amsterdam.

In the Stedelijk Museum large, dark paintings by Marlene Dumas. Not very colourful.

In FOAM lives Araki. With sensitive images of his life and especially his wife. The images demonstrate his love for her. After her death he shifts to pornographic and sadomasochistic topics. Then he finds rest in large, very colourful stills of flowers against a black background.

Vivian Maier has a small exhibition in the corridors and the small rooms in the back of FOAM. She  is at least as interesting. Wonderful street photography. Unfortunately it is extremely busy in the small passages of FOAM. Visitors shuffle breast to belly. I flee.

The Zeedijk is a mini Chinatown.
