ABOUT STAM

After Frans Postma’s spatial qualities research with regard to Mondrian’s studio at the Rue du Départ in Paris, the idea originated to make a full size scale model of the famous studio for the `Mondrian year` (1994, 50 years after his date of death). The studio would be the centre of attention at a major STIJL exhibition, in which the artistic discrepancies between Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondriaan were to be the main focus of attention. Because there were a lot of activities that had to be organized, the STAM foundation was set up: “STichting reconstructie Atelier Mondriaan” (Foundation Reconstruction Mondrian's studio). The exhibition was called: “Mondrian’s studio, the subtitle was: “Earthly Paradise” and was organized in the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam, in the great goods exchange hall. The foundation found a committee of recommendation consisting of: Carel Blotkamp, Yve-Alain Bois, Joop Joosten and Nancy Troy. After the Amsterdam exhibition, STAM enthusiastically kept promoting the architectonic qualities of Piet Mondriaan worldwide.
