Ryan Gander X Edgar Degas: Pas de Deux

Jun 20, 2025 - Jan 04, 2026
In June, Museum Beelden aan Zee will be staging an exhibition which creates a dialogue between the work of the British visual artist Ryan Gander (1976) and that of the French painter and sculptor Edgar Degas (1834 - 1917). Since 2008, Gander has been working on a conceptual series in which he reinterprets Degas’ world-famous sculpture Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans (1881) and places her in a contemporary context. Gander’s sculptures liberate Degas’ fourteen year-old dancer from her pedestal and places her in various scenarios. The exhibition in Museum Beelden aan Zee will show Gander’s series of twenty-one ballerinas for the first time, and also in direct connection with Degas’ famous sculpture.
