Jacqueline de Jong was born in 1939 in Hengelo. Before she was 20, she moved to Paris and London, where she studied. Since 1960, De Jong has been building an impressive oeuvre as an experimental visual artist. She belongs to the avant-garde that set the tone of the art scene for the second half of the 20th century. Strongly committed and involved in the social debate, she was part of the International Situationists in the 1960s, an artistic-political group that wanted to disrupt the established order with happenings, and was of great influence on the later punk movement.
Her work - whether as a painter, sculptor or graphic artist - attracted interest from the start, both in Europe and in the United States. In the Netherlands she was asked to do murals in the Stopera and an installation for the Nederlandsche Bank.
In 2019, De Jong received the French Aware Prize for her exceptional career and oeuvre. The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, with which she has had a good relationship since 1958, organized the retrospective exhibition Pinball Wizard. De Jong lives and works alternately in Amsterdam and the French Bourbonnais.
