Dick Cassee - Large metal print "Flight 505" signed in pencil - for Print 190 - Sold

• In April 1968, an exhibition of lithographs, etchings, woodcuts, silkscreens, etc., published by Prent 190 from September 1965 onwards, was held in the Centraal Museum.

Prent 190, also referred to as a new circle of collectors of contemporary graphics, was conceived in the 1960s by Louis Gans (1930-2012), former curator of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and art historian. For a fixed annual fee, people could become members of Prent 190; they would then receive approximately 10 sheets of graphics per year. 190 copies were printed per print. In this way, original art was made accessible to a wider audience.
The members did not know what they would receive, although it was known which artists were participating. They included Peter Alma, Dick Cassée, Corneille, Jef Diederen, Martin Engelman, Friso ten Holt, Willem Hussem, Jacqueline de Jong, Lucebert, Han Mes, Sam Middleton, Roger Raveel, Bram van Velde, Carel Visser, Co Westerik and Jakob Zekveld.
