DYLABY (continued)

DYLABY is short for Dynamisch Labyrint, an exhibition held in 1962 at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. It was a convergence of modern art, featuring some of the most iconic names in the art world: Tinguely, Niki de Saint Phalle, Robert Rauschenberg, and Martial Raysse. Despite being advertised as “chaos,” a closer examination of the exhibition’s catalogue reveals a well-planned and deliberate event. Though over fifty years have passed since its inception, the catalogue still holds significance as a historical document, both for the event that was DYLABY and for its own design. It provides a complete insider’s glimpse into the exhibition.

Additionally, the series of photographs by Ed van der Elsken featured in the catalogue are some of his best work. This catalogue, along with its accompanying separate exhibition plan, is a prized possession for art enthusiasts and can be found on www.ftn-books.com.
