It was built in 1931 as a printing works and editorial office for the national newspaper <em>De Telegraaf<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal was the heart of Dutch journalism in the twentieth century. Major daily newspapers had their offices here, alongside printing houses, news agencies and renowned journalists\u2019 caf\u00e9s. From the 1960s onwards, newspapers gradually moved away from Amsterdam\u2019s city centre.<\/p>\n<p>For <em>Old News<\/em>, Ram Katzir drew inspiration from the area\u2019s newspaper history and from the sculptures by Amsterdam sculptor Hildo Krop that crown the building\u2019s tower. With their oversized hands, Krop\u2019s four paperboys represent the dissemination of news.<\/p>\n<p>Katzir\u2019s paperboy sits more than five metres above street level, holding a newspaper with a reflective surface. The title <em>Old News<\/em> plays with the fleeting nature of current affairs: what makes the front page today is old news tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Ram Katzir was born in Tel Aviv in 1969 and graduated from the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. His work encompasses sculpture, public art and drawing. A recurring theme in his work is the way perceptions, memories and meanings change over time and according to context.<\/p>\n<p><em>Old News<\/em> brings the paperboy back to the street where news was once made, with a reflection on the present.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"SinglePostNews-buttons\">\n        <div class=\"SinglePostNews-empty\"><\/div>\n            <a class=\"SinglePostNews-backButtonOverview\" href=\"\">\n            <div class=\"SinglePostNews-backButtonSvgWrapper\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" viewBox=\"0 0 59.878 53.251\"><defs><clipPath id=\"a\"><path d=\"M0,6.8H27.951V-53.074H0Z\" transform=\"translate(0 -2.96)\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\"\/><\/clipPath><\/defs><g transform=\"translate(-1110.585 -1561.5)\"><g transform=\"translate(1166.62 1589.451) rotate(-90)\" clip-path=\"url(#a)\"><g transform=\"translate(0.707 -52.367)\"><path d=\"M.354,52.013l-.707-.707L25.123,25.83-.354.354.354-.354,26.537,25.83Z\" transform=\"translate(-2 1)\"\/><\/g><\/g><path d=\"M5734.03,1723.276H5698.1V1691h1v31.272h33.932V1691h1Z\" transform=\"translate(-4575 -108.525)\"\/><\/g><\/svg>\n            <\/div>\n            Overview        <\/a>\n            <div class=\"SinglePostNews-empty\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-tlss-container-12-columns BackgroundColor Background-coloru002du002dprimary  Background-color--primary\"><div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-padding-x\">\n<div class=\"small-12 cell\"><div class=\"CustomGrid\">\n    <div><\/div>\n    <div class=\"CustomGrid-1\">\n        <div class=\"wrapper\">\n            <div class=\"TitleTextButton\">\n                <div class=\"TitleTextButton-title\">\n                                            <h3 class=\"TitleTextButton-titleStyle TitleTextButton-titleSmall\">\n                            View even more art                        <\/h3>\n                                    <\/div>\n                <div class=\"TitleTextButton-text MapBlock-margin\">\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"CustomGrid-4\">\n        <div class=\"MapBlock-wrapper\">\n            <div class=\"MapBlock\">\n                <div class=\"hidden mapClick\" style=\"display:none;\" data-imp-focus-object-on-click=\" active route\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"CustomGrid-2\">\n        <div class=\"TitleTextButton-text MapBlock-margin\">\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"CustomGrid-3\">\n        <div class=\"AccordionBlock\">\n                            <ul class=\"accordion AccordionBlock-wrapper\" data-accordion data-allow-all-closed=\"true\">\n                                                                        <li class=\"accordion-item AccordionBlock-item\" data-accordion-item>\n                                <a href=\"#\"\n                                   class=\"accordion-title AccordionBlock-question\">Navigation<\/a>\n                                <div class=\"accordion-content AccordionBlock-answer\" data-tab-content>\n                                    <div>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/li>\n                        \n                                                                        <div class=\"AccordionBlock-item\">\n                                                            <\/div>\n                        \n                                    <\/ul>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<script>\n    jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {\n        let mapId = \"\";\n\n        setTimeout(function () {\n            ImageMapPro.changeArtboard('', mapId);\n            if (ImageMapPro.isMobile()) {\n                $('.mapClick').trigger('click');\n            }\n        }, 500);\n    });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":1821,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"art_category":[16],"class_list":["post-1679","art","type-art","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","art_category-pershal"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
