  • ‘In direct relation to the architecture’ With the prospect of the realization of the new wing, there is hope. Thanks to available funding in the form of the ‘percent for art programme’, in close consultation with Wim Quist, a number of special artworks can be realized ‘in direct relation to the architecture’.

  • Space for sculptures Hammacher manages to achieve more and more, but things are still not going fast enough for him. He fights for higher budgets and plays for high stakes to realize the sculpture garden. Little by little, sculpture gains a foothold in the collection. With the drawings of sculptors, he adds a new component.

  • Tradition and innovation Now that he has received the go-ahead for the sculpture garden, Hammacher can finally focus on the practical implementation of his policy of organizing international exhibitions. Thus, the Van Goghcollection travels through Japan and the work of Japanese contemporary artists is shown in Otterlo. The exhibition Vorm en Kleur (Form and Colour) presents sculptures from Africa and Oceania. In the forest, the first trees are felled for the construction of the sculpture garden.
  • ‘Violins of the space’ Hammacher seeks to expand ‘his’ sculpture collection and sees possibilities in the immediate vicinity of the museum, in the heart of nature. He envisages a ‘sculpture garden’ for presentations in the open air, but negotiations with the surrounding National Park are difficult. Hammacher continues his plans and moreover manages to procure many new works, such as those by Barbara Hepworth.

  • Architecture past and present The Kröller-Müller Museum is the life’s work of Helene Kröller-Müller. Between 1907 and 1922, together with her husband Anton Kröller, she acquires nearly 11,500 works of art: one of the largest private collections of the twentieth century. Helene dreams of a ‘museum house’, a place where she can share her love of art with everyone. When the Kröller-Müller Museum opens its doors in 1938, her dream becomes reality. Under her successors, the museum is extended with new buildings and a large sculpture garden.

  • The sculpture garden Hammacher wonders how he can provide a comprehensive overview of modern sculpture with limited means. He is still looking for additions to the early modern collection, while simultaneously he has to present established artists of his time. In 1961 he awards a special commission to the young inexperienced artist Marta Pan, which will define the appearance of the sculpture garden for years to come.
  • Gaining autonomy The first years of Evert van Straaten’s directorship are dominated by the museum’s transition to autonomy. Much attention is devoted to the ‘preservation and stewardship’ of the collection and the building. Nevertheless, Van Straaten soon formulates an acquisition policy and is able to purchase a large number of works in accordance with it, including works by Miroslaw Balka, Joost van den Toorn and Matt Mullican.
