The exhibition: Relinking: Kabakov Cabinet gives unique insight into the oeuvre of artist couple Ilya and Emilia Kabakov.

Graphic works

In 2021, the Van Abbemuseum bought 86 of their graphic works. A selection of these will now be put on display for the first time - together with other works by the couple of which some are already in the museum’s collection. This cross section of artworks from different periods and disciplines - ranging from big paintings that invite visitors to step back and view them from a distance to small prints and book illustrations that have to be viewed close up - will engage in dialogue with each other.
