Adriaan van Ravesteijn

Biography Van Ravesteijn studied architecture at Delft University of Technology around 1960.

In Amsterdam-Zuid in September 1968 he and a friend opened their own gallery, Art & Project, which Van Ravesteijn ran and which exhibited artists including Gilbert & George, Sol LeWitt, Daniel Buren, and Lawrence Weiner.

In 2009, the Museum of Modern Art staged an exhibition entitled "In & Out of Amsterdam", drawing largely on the Van Ravesteijn-Van Beijeren bequest.

Gift to the Kröller-Müller Museum In 2013, Van Ravesteijn donated a significant part of the Art & Project collection to the Kröller-Müller Museum. This donation contained over 200 works of art, mostly sculptural works by Dutch artists such as Ger van Elk, Jos Kruit, Carel Visser and Leo Vroegindeweij, and international artists as Carl Andre, Adam Colton, Tony Cragg, Barry Flanagan, Hamish Fulton, Richard Long, Andrew Lord, Juan Muñoz, Willy Ørskov and Nicholas Pope.
