Press - Museum Cobra

Press

Welcome to the press page of Cobra Museum of Modern Art Amstelveen. Press material (press releases, press image overview) from the exhibitions can be found here. The press image overview shows which images are available and can be used royalty-free (unless otherwise indicated) during the exhibition, provided that the correct captions and copyrights are included. These photographs can only be used for editorial (and non-commercial) purposes, such as a review or promotion of the exhibition.

In the folders you will find high-resolution images and the caption document. Some images are temporarily exempt from copyright. This is stated in the caption document. You do, however, always have to use the correct and complete captions.

We remind you of your own responsibility when publishing images. You must provide the correct captions and have the correct rights to publish images. The Cobra Museum is never the owner of the image rights of the works of art themselves, and rarely of the portraits of the artists. These lie with the artist or with the heirs of the artist, or with the photographer in question. More information about this can be obtained from Pictoright. Information about the conditions and rates: www.pictoright.nl and 020 -589 18 40

Museum Cobra

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.

 

Diana Blok – I challenge you to love me

The exhibition I challenge you to love me presents an overview of the work of photographer and artist Diana Blok (Uruguay, 1952). Blok was born in Montevideo and lived in Colombia and Guatemala. She studied sociology in Mexico City. In 1974, she emigrated to Amsterdam and developed into a highly successful photographer and artist. With her work, Diana explores topics such as identity, gender, sexual diversity and culture. The exhibition can be seen from 31 May to 29 September 2024.
