In Memoriam
Edna van Duyn (1954-2023)

We are deeply saddened to have learned of the death of Edna van Duyn (1954-2023). About her poetry collection Verzameld Werk, poet and visual artist Maria Barnas wrote: 'She has a shrewd eye, and with her a thought is an object made up of thoughts with as strong a presence as the things around her'. The transverse theatre group Nieuw West was once her platform. She wrote art reviews for magazines such as Vrij Nederland, Metropolis M, Flash Art and The Journal of Art. At art centre de Appel Amsterdam, she was publisher and editor of artists' books and catalogues. Edna van Duyn was trained as an art historian, literary translator and dance teacher.
