Robert Duyf: ‘10 Years, Sweet Memories‘

4 December 2022 – 27 January 2023 at Café Bern

From 4 December 2022 to 27 January 2023, work by the artist Robert Duyf, who died in 2012, can be seen in Café Bern. With this exhibition friends, family and Café Bern want to pay a final tribute to Robert Duyf. With his house and studio around the corner, he was a well-known person in the neighborhood and a very welcome guest in Café Bern.

All exhibited work is for sale. Robert’s brother Hans, who manages Robert’s bequeathed work, donates 20% of the proceeds to the Salvation Army.

Robert was a multi-disciplinary artist in the broadest sense of the word. He exhibited in the Stedelijk Museum and in various galleries, was a linchpin in the Dordtse Art Society Pictura and for many years created decorations for the Rho Theater and the Stadsschouwburg in Rotterdam. His work ranges from simple lines to colorful scenes that undoubtedly reflect his close relationship with his native India. Just as colorful were the group exhibitions he organized and with which he showed contemporary artists to a large audience.

There are a limited number of books available at the exhibition (€20) about the vibrant life of Robert Duyf.
