The Matchboxes:
In 1979, Rob Galerie in Amsterdam organized an exhibition about matchboxes.
A number of artists have made a number of boxes with small works of art for the exhibition.
It was the first exhibition in which Marcel Julius Joosen participated.
It partly inspired him to make many small wooden boxes with plaster figurines.
Cut-outs in frames, which still plays an important role in his work.
There is a catalog of that exhibition "Men in erotic Art",
published by Rob Gallery in 1979.
A copy of the catalog can be viewed at the current exhibition,
privately owned by the MooiMan gallery.
