‘Shipwrecks’

8 July 2023 – 31 July 2023

Artist Talk – 28 July, 3pm 

ARTTRA Gallery, Amsterdam

Photo exhibition & book launch ‘On Water’
Wertman combines these enigmatic shipwrecks, whether they are above, or under water, with landscapes and architecture from different countries. The wrecks she has photographed in museums and in situ are mostly wrecked fishermen and/or passenger boats in Greece, Denmark, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Louis Th. Lehmann (1920-2012), was a well-known poet and naval archaeologist. In the 1990s he researched the construction of warships in ancient Greece. Alida Beekhuis (1933), his widow, has selected poems by Lehmann about ships especially for this exhibition.
