- Willem_van_Genk abstract "Willem van Genk (Born April 2, 1927 in Voorburg; died May 12, 2005 in The Hague) was a Dutch painter and graphic artist, celebrated as one of the leading masters of Outsider Art. Throughout his life he suffered from severe mental distress, experiencing symptoms related to autism and schizophrenia. On account of his passion for trains, buses, and train stations, he called himself the "King of Stations".Van Genk’s panoramic cityscapes and fragmented collages express his feelings about modern authority, feelings which were shaped by an abusive father who, in addition to administering his own beatings, left him exposed to a traumatic experience at the hands of the Gestapo during the German occupation of the Netherlands in the Second World War.Van Genk’s art has been widely exhibited in Europe, where it is also in many museum collections, including those of the Stedelijk Museum, the Dr. Guislain Museum in Ghent, the Collection de l’Art Brut in Lausanne, the Lille Metropole Musee d’Art Modern, d’Art Contemporain et d’Art Brut (LaM), the Croatian Museum of Naïve Art in Zagreb,and the Museum of Everything in London.Raw Vision, the leading magazine covering Art Brut, ranks van Genk among the “masters of outsider art.” At the beginning of 2005, which would later prove the year of the artist’s death, van Genk’s Keleti Station, now in the collection of the Museum of Everything in London, sold for a hundred thousand dollars at New York’s Outsider Art Fair, thus setting the record for most expensive work ever sold by a living outsider artist. On that occasion, Roberta Smith, the chief art critic of The New York Times, praised the piece “as the leading candidate for best in show.” [1] At least one other critic has identified van Genk as the most important Dutch outsider artist. Van Genk’s first major American exhibition is scheduled for Autumn 2014 at the American Folk Art Museum in New York City.Willem van Genk: Mind Traffic, the first solo exhibition of the artist in the United States, is presented during the fall of 2014 at the American Folk Art Museum in New York City. It “focuses on his creative process, his recurring themes, and the diverseness of his aesthetic,” providing, as curators Patrick Allegaert, Yoon Hee Lamot, and Dr. Valérie Rousseau noted, a chronological overview of his oeuvre and a comprehensive understanding of van Genk’s mindset. To complement the presentation of his major artworks, Mind Traffic “includes a selection of documents and objects from van Genk’s living environment: an accumulation of favorite books from his library, handmade maps, personal notes, and his collection of raincoats.” In their published statement, the curators proposed an original perspective: “The artworks can be seen as memory palaces,” as they “depict intricately layered and densely networked urban panoramas and reference interconnectivity.”".
