C. Blotkamp (et al., red.), Museum in Motion? The modern art museum at issue/Museum in Beweging? Het museum voor moderne kunst ter diskussie, Government Publishing Office/Staatsuitgeverij Den Haag 1979

After Jean Leering retired as director of the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (1964-'73), collector Martin Visser took the initiative to document his work. Ultimately it becomes much more than a retrospective of ten years of museum directorship in Eindhoven. Various essays by museum employees, artists, critics and theorists result in a comprehensive mix of institutional criticism, supplemented by historical documents and art-related statements. Museum in Motion documents a burst of energy.
