A comprehensive book that features about 150 key artworks from the Axel & May Vervoordt Foundation. It includes essays by art historian and museum director Jacqueline Grandjean, journalist Emma Crichton-Miller, as well as Axel and May Vervoordt in their own words.
The book explores the groundbreaking series of Vervoordt-curated exhibitions at Venice’s Palazzo Fortunty from 2007-2017, with a careful visual selection by photographer Jean-Pierre Gabriel, combining all exhibitions together for the first time in a single volume.
Axel and May Vervoordt are guided by a firm belief in art’s intrinsic power to change lives and add perspectives from the past, present and future. This approach is embodied through A Search for the Universal, a 356-page volume conceived by the Foundation and driven by the family's dedication to promoting art as a catalyst for personal and collective transformation.
The book’s 167-page plate section highlights the artworks with photography by Laziz Hamani and Jan Liegeois. A complete list with an in-depth art historical entry of each work is included.
More than just a catalogue, this book is above all a story about the qualities the Vervoordts seek in art and how living with art has enriched their lives.
