<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leiden Holland, post: 550450, member: 10236&quot;]Hi Gerspee, I was attended to your question by fellow-antiquer Any Jewelry, this is what I replied:</p><p>I looked into it and it seems to me that Gerspee has contacted all the museums and other organisations - and even more - that I would think of (I do know a thing or two about De Stijl and other avant-gardemovements of this era. I graduated on Kurt Schwitters and I did research for one of the many projects dedicated to De Stijl in my hometown Leiden last year, commemorating the fact that the magazine that gave its name to the movement was founded by Theo van Doesburg in Leiden 100 years ago). So I am afraid that I can&#039;t be of any help. The only thing is that Huszar outlived most of the other Stijl-members and was more or less &#039;forgotten&#039; during the decades after WWII, living a secluded life in a small village in Holland, making art that was far from avant-gardistic until his death in 1960. The preparations of the celebrations of 100 years De Stijl have brought a few unknown works of his hand to light, who knows what else there is?</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition I can only mention the director of museum Boijmans-van Beuningen (S. Ex) as he wrote a book about Huszar in the 80s and the Harderwijk Citymuseum as they organized an exhibition about Huszar recently for which occasion some research was done after the period that he lived in Hierden. Museum De Lakenhal might be of interest too, as they have done extensive research after the founding of the Magazine De Stijl, and its director is a specialist on Theo van Doesburg and the era.</p><p>Best regards from Herb, Leiden, the Netherlands.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
