Exhibition about H.C.A. van Kampen, Amsterdam Maritime Museum 1997

            On the floor of the exposition about 300 covers of the magazine 'De Waterkampioen' were glued with a protective transparent layer, so the public could walk over is. This covers which attracted much attention showed the development of yachting in the period 1927-1997. 

In 1997, together with Elisabeth Spits, I made an exhibition about Hermann Carl Anton van Kampen, in the Netherlands better known as H.C.A. van Kampen. 
    Born in 1881 as the son of an Amsterdam publisher, he started his career in his father's publishing firm. But his heart lay elsewhere. His passion was sailing in all its diversity. He became an editor of two sailing magazines next to his work. Van Kampen also was a prolific amateur yacht designer. He had a lots of talents and became the first and founding editor of the succesful Dutch yachting magazine De Waterkampioen in 1927. The magazine still exists. 
     The exibition was made to celebrate the  70th aniversery of the magazine. 
Van Kampen had a mission: to make yachting accessible for  everyone. In the early years of th 20th century boating was only for the elite. When Van Kampen died in 1946 all that had changed. 

Elisabeth Spits was the curator and I did the design.
