Art historian Antoon Melissen curates exhibitions 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 (2018), and catalogue texts for European and American museums and galleries.
