Mienke Simon Thomas points out a mosaic with Mary and Child. A visit was made to the St. George because Johan Thorn Prikker designed all the stained glass windows there. Once there, it turned out there was also a mosaic by him.

Architect agency

The house where Johan Thorn Prikker used to live now houses the architect agency Ackermann. This agency has modernised the house, but has included several original ornaments by Thorn Prikker in the new design. For this, they were awarded in 2009 the ‘Anerkennungspreis’ of the Westfälisch-Lippischen Preises für Denkmalpflege.

From Germany with love

This time, the preparations for the exhibition ‘Jugendstil and beyond’ of Johan Thorn Prikker did not just start in museum depositories, books and archives. A trip along churches, villas and houses in the German Rhineland was necessary to get a good idea of his work. Some of the key pieces in his oeuvre are inextricably connected with the architecture. How do you exhibit such works that are impossible to move to an exhibition room? Curator Mienke Simon Thomas, guest curator Christiane Heiser and educator Catrien Schreuder visited Germany in May 2010 to look at all the works and draw up a plan. Here is a report of three intensive days.
