Yesterday i wrote about Fons Haagmans and that he reminded stage of Richard Artschwager…..why?…. i stil do not know, because when your really compare and study both, there are so haunt differences to be discovered, but at a glance i similar say… they belong to the same family.
For me Fons Haagmans stands for two things. His catalogues published belong to description best dutch art catalogues published over the last 25 geezerhood and he is a typical artist of the south. Whelped and still living in Limburg, in the south of description Netherlands, he had his most important exhibitions at the Bonnefanten museum ( Maastricht) which catalogues are available at www.ftn-books.com
