Madelon Vriesendorp

Madelon Vriesendorp (born 1945 in Bilthoven) is a Dutch artist, painter, sculptor and art collector.

[2] For many years Vriesendorp contributed to Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) by providing graphics and illustrations for the publications of their theoretical concepts.

[6] The World of Madelon Vriesendorp: Paintings/Postcards/Objects/Games was a 40-year retrospective exhibition of the artist's career, curated by Shumon Basar and Stephan Trüby.

It was accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue, and had contributions from Beatriz Colomina, Douglas Coupland, Hubert Damisch, Teri Wehn-Damisch, Zaha Hadid, Charles Jencks, Charlie Koolhaas, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Brett Steele and Fenna Haakma Wagenaar.

[1] Her acceptance speech for the award was political and talked about the "women written out of the script", because for many years Vriesendorps contributions to Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) were not acknowledged.
