Note:
Galerie Espace, founded by Eva Bendien and Polly Chapon in 1956, was one of the first and most important contemporary art galleries. A great variety of artists, now of great importance to the Dutch and world art history, first exhibited at Espace. Lucebert was one of these artists, who gratefully created this painting to commemorate the 20-year anniversary of the gallery. Unfortunately all good things have to come to an end, and the gallery closed its famous doors recently.
