Jan Jozias Henderikse (born January 22, 1937 in Delft ) is a Dutch Art Informel , photo and object artist .

Life

Henderikse's artistic career began as a painter of the Informel. He lived and worked from 1959 to 1962, first in Cologne and then, after Günther Uecker persuaded him to do so, in Düsseldorf , where he moved into a studio next to that of Joseph Beuys . In 1959 he founded the Dutch Informal Group with the artists Kees van Bohemen , Henk Peeters , Armando and Jan Schoonhoven , which in 1960 became the group nul ( Dutch Nulgroep ), a parallel artist movement to the group ZERO . Since the mid-1970s, he has increasingly occupied himself with film, photography and object art. The works made from found material, the ready-mades, earned him the nickname "King of Trash".

From 1963 to 1967 he lived in Curaçao and moved to the USA in 1968 in the New York borough of Brooklyn . He lives and works in Antwerp and New York City . Henderikse took part in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
