Art historian Antoon Melissen curates exhibitions and publishes internationally on Dutch art of the late 1950s, the 1960s and 1970s in an international context. 

Publications include monographs on the Dutch artists Armando (2015), Jan Schoonhoven (2016) and Jan Henderikse (2010 and 2018), and catalogue texts for European and American museums and galleries.

His current research focuses on artist-driven initiatives and curating activities of Dutch artists in an international setting. A project of special interest is the compilation of the catalogue raisonné of the reliefs of Dutch artist Jan Schoonhoven (1914-1994).
