Freda Kamphuis: Park eren

 

Park eren

 

Harde kale takken

spreken over dood

bomen blozen, bloot

en kwetsbaar in hun

tere lingerie van knoppen

winter aarzelt te vertrekken

rekt zich nog even uit als kat

en trekt soms hele gekke bekken

naar ons wandelaars, met naast ons 

horden uitgelaten fris ontdooide vogels

 

in hoge toppen  staan herrezen mezen  

pas uit diepvries weggevlogen, bewogen

en spatzuiver deze terugkeer te befluiten  

merels neurieën mee  uit zachte kelen 

zonlicht gaat nu alle grauwheid helen 

door het vaak en lang te strelen

daalt vastbesloten naar beneden

nog zonder warmte, nog even

zonder warmte, tot het kille

eindelijk wordt ingehaald

parkeergeld is betaald.

Melseke: Galleries and the crisis

Galleries and the crisis

The commercial galleries in the Netherlands are not doing too well. The uncertainty caused by the financial crisis is hurting this part of the art sector more than proportionally. On top of this uncertainty the VAT on art has been raised from 6 percent to 19 and will be raised further to 21 percent. The continuing uncertainty about the economy, about income, taxes and mortgages and the substantially higher price of art, withholds potential customers from buying. This does not only affect the owner of a gallery but equally all the artists who are dependent on the gallery sales for their income.
