The Ultimate Art Depot: Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen

Space constraints may not come to mind when walking through Le Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum in New York or the National Gallery in Singapore, yet most museums around the world share a common problem: their collections are far too big to be fully displayed within their walls. As a result the majority of most museum’s artworks languish far from the public eyes, often only accessible to art professional, historians and researchers. The Louvre in Paris displays about 9% of the 380,000 works of arts in its collection, while the V&A Collection in London shows about 24% of its “display” collection thanks to two locations (the V&A Galleries and the Museum of Childhood).

The Turner Prize-winning artist often plays with optical illusions that create the impression of infinite depth and his work is the perfect dialogue to Soane’s use of mirrors and domed ceilings. Pitzhanger Manor was designed by Soane and built between 1800 and 1804 in then London’s rural countryside. Today its grounds, Walpole Park, provide an oasis of calm in the busy west London borough of Ealing. The adjoining gallery, where Kapoor’s work is now being shown, was built in the 1930s, on the site of the old house’s kitchen black, it includes architectural elements such as three skylights that uses the same amber glass Soane uses in th...
