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.

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
