11.08.2026Security Camera 54- P{ainting Of A CCTV Surveillance Camera Against A Blue Sky Security Camera 54
G. Boersma Click here to view the auction Number 54 in the series of cctv surveillance cameras. I consider surveillance cameras a symbol of our time. To me, they represent an increasingly totalitarian society and diminishing freedom and privacy. All the best, Gerard 
11.07.2026Veluti In Speculum- Painting Of A Woman Enjoying A Painting By Hans Hofmann Veluti In Speculum
G. Boersma Click here to view the auction This piece shows a woman viewing Veluti in Speculum, a 1962 painting by German-American artist Hans Hofmann. The Latin title translates to 'As in a Mirror,' reflecting both the visual and philosophical essence of Hofmann’s famous 'push and pull' theory. By using bright, contrasting geometric blocks of color, Hofmann creates a mirror-like illusion of deep, pulsating, three-dimensional space on a flat canvas. Ultimately, the painting functions as a mirror that reflects inner emotional energy rather than a literal, representational image. All the best, Gerard
10.31.2026Homage To The Square- Painting Of A Woman Enjoying A Painting By Josef Albers Homage To The Square
G. Boersma Click here to view the auction The woman in my painting is enjoying Josef Albers' Homage to the Square, a series of over 1,000 paintings produced between 1950 and 1976. It is a visual and philosophical study of color relativity, demonstrating that we never perceive a color in isolation, but rather how it reacts to and is transformed by its neighbors. Albers was less interested in expressing personal emotion and more interested in teaching the viewer how to see. The art is not just the physical object; it is the active mental and visual experience happening in the viewer's eye—just as it is for the viewer in this painting. All the best, Gerard
10.30.2026Marilyn- Painting Of A Woman Enjoying A Painting By Andy Warhol Marilyn
G. Boersma This painting observes a woman engaged with Andy Warhol’s iconic portrait of Marilyn Monroe. Andy Warhol began creating the portraits just days after her death in 1962. The portraits explore themes of celebrity obsession, mass production, consumerism, and mortality. The repetition highlights both her omnipresence in the media, while the bright, saturated colors celebrate her glamour and iconic beauty. They say that one picture is worth a thousand words, but to me Warhol showed that a thousand images might say nothing at all. By capturing a real person viewing this portrait, I tried to bring back the human element. All the best, Gerard

10.25.2026Self Portrait Frank Auerbach- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Self Portrait By Frank Auerbach Self Portrait Frank Auerbach
G. Boersma This 20 x 20 cm piece shows a man enjoying a self portrait by Frank Auerbach. His self portraits are a profound, raw exploration of identity, aging, and the physical passage of time through a rigorous 'poetics of destruction' and reconstruction. Auerbach builds his images through a fierce cycle of drawing, erasing, and redrawing. Rather than seeking a flattering likeness, identity is shown as dynamic and ever-evolving rather than static. By placing an observer in front of this intense, heavily textured image, my painting introduces a space of quiet stillness amidst Auerbach's frantic energy. The focused presence of the viewer suggests that we can always find a moment of inner clarity and enduring peace within the chaos. All the best, Gerard
10.20.2026Red On Red- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Mark Rothko Red On Red
G. Boersma In my work, I love to capture the quiet moments of people in museums, entirely lost in the act of looking. This painting captures a viewer lost in Mark Rothko's Red On Red. Rothko painted on massive vertical canvases, these works were meant to engulf the viewer. Rothko preferred dim lighting and close viewing distances so the color fields would completely dominate the spectator's field of vision and trigger a transcendent, almost religious experience. All the best, Gerard
10.17.2026Woman Sitting Near A Window- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Picasso Woman Sitting Near A Window
G. Boersma Pablo Picasso’s 1932 painting 'Femme Assise Près d’Une Fenêtre' depicts his young mistress and muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter. Picasso painted it during what art historians call his annus mirabilis or year of wonders. Marie-Thérèse inspired a flood of bright, curvilinear, and euphoric masterpieces. Unlike earlier, more passive reclining nudes, Marie-Thérèse is portrayed upright, clothed, and statuesque. Her calm, commanding presence and luminous, marble-like head transform her into a modern-day goddess or idol ruling over the artist. The window acts as a threshold between the private, intimate world of their secret love affair and the outside reality. It frames her as both an object of devotion and a figure in complete control of the space. All the best, Gerard
10.13.2026Crosstown- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Franz Kline Crosstown
G. Boersma The woman in this painting is enjoying a painting by Franz Kline from 1955. Crosstown derives its meaning not from depicting a literal street map, but from capturing the raw visual architecture, dynamic movement, and kinetic energy of an urban environment. Kline famously stated that he did not paint specific physical objects or scenes, but rather the internal feelings and sensory reactions aroused in him by living and looking out at the city. By placing a viewer in front of his work I'm basically doing the same thing in return. All the best, Gerard
10.12.2026Five Color Frame- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Robert Mangold Five Color Frame
G. Boersma The man in my painting is enjoying a painting by Robert Mangold from 1985. His Five Color Frame explores the tension between the canvas as a flat fragment and its active relationship with the empty wall behind it, questioning how separate parts "fit or don't really fit together". By introducing a human element into this minimalist piece, I wanted to bridge the artwork's rigid, hard-edged boundaries and that of the living world. All the best, Gerard
