‘to be’ and ‘to become’: herman de vries and Pieke Bergmans at Bradwolff & Partners
06 october 2026
Until 25 October, Bradwolff & Partners in Amsterdam offers two parallel exhibitions: herman de vries’ ‘to be’ and Pieke Bergmans’ ‘to become’. These titles represent two different ways of looking at the world. In his practice, herman de vries focuses on what is already there, from earth and stones to plants. In doing so, he draws our attention to materials, colours and forms that we often overlook. Bergmans, by contrast, is interested in materials that move, react and change: what happens when glass becomes liquid, and how does gravity affect a material?
