{"product_id":"object-willem-westbroek","title":"Object - Willem Westbroek","description":"\u003cp\u003eA conceptual mixed-media piece by Willem Westbroek, featuring a hand-drawn ink sketch overlaid on a vintage Dutch commercial advertisement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by Dutch artist Willem Westbroek demonstrates a characteristic engagement with the intersection of commercial ephemera and personal mark-making. The composition is built upon a fragment of printed retail material, specifically a Dutch advertisement for household linens and tableware. The text, which lists prices and dimensions for 'hoeslakens' (fitted sheets) and 'kop en schotels' (cups and saucers), provides a mundane, utilitarian backdrop for the artist's intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWestbroek overlays this commercial substrate with a quick, gestural ink sketch of a simple vessel or cup. The drawing is sparse, relying on thin, direct lines to define the form of the object, while a small area of cross-hatching provides a sense of weight and shadow. The juxtaposition of the mass-produced typography with the singular, hand-drawn sketch creates a tension between the anonymous nature of consumer goods and the subjective act of observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy incorporating the original catalogue reference number, RP-T-2017-216-74, the work maintains its connection to the archival process. It functions as a record of the artist's immediate environment, capturing a moment where the domestic sphere meets the artistic process. The choice of materials reflects a period in Dutch art where the boundaries between everyday life and the gallery space were frequently questioned. The work remains a study in economy of means, using minimal ink strokes to transform a piece of discarded paper into a deliberate artistic statement. It invites the viewer to consider the aesthetic potential hidden within the overlooked detritus of daily commerce, presenting a quiet dialogue between the printed word and the drawn line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/brushstrokes-sol-lewitt\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBrushstrokes - Sol LeWitt — Sol LeWitt\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/edward-ruscha-young-artist-edward-ruscha\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eEdward Ruscha (Young Artist) - Edward Ruscha — Edward Ruscha\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Willem Westbroek","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58512147906895,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58512162685263,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58512162718031,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58512162750799,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58512162783567,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58512162816335,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58512162849103,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58512162881871,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58512162914639,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58512162947407,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58512162980175,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58512163012943,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Object_Poster_CompositorV1_1786445766102.jpg?v=1787107873","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/object-willem-westbroek","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
