The 0-INSTITUTE is proud to present a unique limited edition, made by Raoul Van den Boom, and now available in an edition of 7 copies. The proceeds will go to the institutes's research.
Raoul Van den Boom (Antwerp, 1937) attended the Royal Academy of Arts in Antwerp and shortly thereafter began as an autodidact to portray friends in the artist community of Antwerp: musicians and visual artists. He photographed many famous jazz musicians, including Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Chet Baker, and many others. With Yayoi Kusama he created in her studio in New York a series of erotic portraits. Several of them are nowadays too provocative, and not made public, but it makes clear that Kusama was very early fighting for her sexual freedom.
