Rob Scholte - Après nous le déluge -Discounted complete set

Amsterdam-born Rob Scholte studied at the city’s Gerrit Rietveld Academie from 1977 to 1982, subsequently joining the artists’ collective W139.

In 1991 Scholte won the commission for a massive frieze for the walls and ceiling of the Huis Ten Bosch Resort in Nagasaki, Japan. The mural, measuring 1200 square metres, took Scholte and his large team of assistants years to complete. Entitled Après nous le déluge, it took as its theme the continued recurrence of war through history.

During this period Scholte survived an attempt on his life, although the car bomb cost him both his legs. Nevertheless the Nagasaki masterpiece was completed on time. It was unveiled on August 9, 1995 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the nuclear bomb attack on Nagasaki.

This is the complete set of 4 prints of this original mural in Nagasaki. Limited print from 2010, hand signed.
