New: Maastricht in Christmas and Toos spirit
Maastricht was already completely in the Christmas spirit at the end of last week. But Monique Thelen of Onze Lieve Vrouwe Galerie thought a finishing touch was necessary. That is why she asked a while ago if Toos van Holstein had any work available for the new exhibition in the gallery. Situated on the very cozy and famous Onze Lieve Vrouweplein, marked by the Onze Lieve Vrouwe basilique. Because Toos had exhibited there before and because over the years she did regularly visit the many terraces on the square, the decision was not difficult to make.
So now a series of new paintings is hanging there.

some of the paintings of Toos in the exhibition

An exhibition that will run until March 31, so including the period of the TEFAF 2025 (March 13-20). That art fair that is very well-known in the entire art world and for which private jets fly in and out.

 

New: Toos van Holstein chosen in the group of 25 most popular artists in The Netherlands

It started in July, the Artist of the Year 2025 election. With Toos van Holstein among the group of 90 nominated well-known Dutch artists. Nominated by a panel of about 100 Dutch art experts from all walks of life in the art world. Not bad, right?

On September 15, it turned out that she had been elected by the public among the last 20 artists. Thanks, thanks to everyone who made this happen. After that, it was up to the panel again to elect the last 8 from those 20 for the last public round and to add 5 more wildcards. That verdict was announced on October 1. But for Toos the election has stopped now. Because she is not among those last 8. Anyway, she is just very happy with that position among the last 25. Where many other well-known names are no longer included.

 

New: Start of the 25th edition of the Art & Culture Route Middelburg on 4 February

On 4 February the re-knowned Art & Culture Route in the old town of Middelburg starts again. With a Jubileum Year: this year-long art event exists 25 years. From the start in the year 2000 most of the art galleries and artist ateliers in town are always opened on the first Sunday of the month (except in January). And of course Toos van Holstein, taking part since 2002, also opens her atelier at the Korendijk 56. Always welcome on this 1st Sunday of the month (1-5pm) in the beautiful atelier of her 18th century warehouse.

The new series of UOVO's by Toos van Holstein

Toos van Holstein spended four weeks in the Italian medieval town Gubbio, known for its ceramics. In the atelier of Rampini Ceramics d'Arte she created a new series of by hand painted UOVO's, big egg shaped forms. Three of these UOVO's stayed behind as part of the collection of the Museo delle Brocche d'Autore in Gubbio. The other ones are now shown in her galleries in the Netherlands

About this UOVO-Project a video can be watched on Toos her YouTube-channel. Have a look here.

The creation of her newest stone lithograph

Recently Toos van Holstein created a new stone lithograph in collaboration with the Belgian lithographer Hans Van Dijck in his atelier in Antwerp. It was the first time the two of them worked together on a stone lithograph but the result can be judged as excellent. The edition of this new work is only 25 and the litho is sold for €225. An excellent chance to acquire a beatiful artwork for an excellent price. On the YouTube-channel of the artist the creation of 'City life' can be watched in the video 'City life- the coming alive of a stone lithograph' https://youtu.be/XczDEwQo-lk
