Museum Cobra focuses on the art and ideas of the Cobra movement. Cobra is part of the canon of art history, but the ‘spirit’ of Cobra is still very much alive. An alternative culture, based on international solidarity and creativity, is perhaps more relevant than ever in the world we live in today. Museum Cobra therefore actively links the collection and history of Cobra to contemporary artists, modern art movements and current affairs.
Mission & vision
Museum Cobra presents and curates its own collection, presents national and international exhibitions of 20th-century and contemporary art, and offers a wide range of public activities ‘to educate and entertain’ the residents of Amstelveen, the residents of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area, all Dutch citizens and international visitors.
Board
Stichting Cobra Museum voor Moderne Kunst Amstelveen uses a single-layer governance model. The foundation’s board, in consultation with the director, is ultimately responsible for determining policy, setting financial guidelines and continuity of the organization.
The director is in charge of daily management and reports to the board. Tasks and authorities within the organization are laid down in a management regulation and authorized by the board. This is also included in the annual audit, in which the auditor and director inform the board in writing about points of attention that have emerged during the audit, insofar as relevant to the financial statements.
The composition of the board is periodically evaluated internally. The director’s performance is evaluated by and with the Board.
An annual performance review is held for this purpose.
The board consists of the following persons:
J. (Jerry) Straub, chair
S.D. (Stephen) Brunner, treasurer
A. (Ariella) Kornmehl, board member
C. (Carl) Stal, board member
