That encourage the exchange of ideas or help us better understand social issues. The works we acquire span a wide range of disciplines and are made by artists from a variety of backgrounds, with a focus on emerging and newly successful artists. What unites their work is that it can have an impact on Dutch society, including the Caribbean Netherlands. The art collection thus reflects the core values of De Nederlandsche Bank: committed, open, dependable and alert.
