(Introduction) ‘Since 1992, the Oeuvre Awards presented by the Netherlands Foundation for Fine Arts, Design and Architecture have expressed public appreciation for artists who have long served the arts with an exceptional body of work. Every two years, a maximum of six awards are presented to visual artists, designers or architects whose work as a whole has been of outstanding significance for Dutch art, design or architecture. Following the recommendations of the Oeuvre Award Committee, the Governing Board of the Foundation this year presents Oeuvre Awards to sculptor André Volten, photographer Aart Klein, graphic designer Benno Wissing and architect John. Habraken.’
