His interest was mainly in Africa and Oceania and he bought from recognised galleries, including Galerie Lemaire, Galerie Mabuhay (Rob Kok), Kunsthandel Aalderink and Michel Thieme in Amsterdam. His interests proved diverse: besides masks and sculptures, there were also weapons, carpets and various utensils. Visitors were amazed by the order with which the collector at his home in Haarlem managed to place each object in the big picture of shapes and colours, contributing to an imaginative interpretation of objects from exotic cultures.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"col\">\n<div class=\"text-secondary row\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Krachtige Hopi Crow Mother kachina met imposante uitstraling en originele beschildering.
