Chagall and Picasso Exhibit
DSC05898.JPGIf you're in the mood for a bit of fine art, but not up to a long trek through some of Utrecht's great museums, stop in at Kunsthandel Juffermans for their month-long exhibit of some of Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso's signed lithographs. The lithographs, numbered and signed by the artists, are bold works representative of their well-known styles. The prints range in date from the 1950s to the 1970s.

The family-owned gallery is located in the heart of Utrecht, across from the Neude and a short walk from the central station. The gallery's collection also includes works from other major modern artists, such as Andy Warhol and Joan Miró, as well as the Dutch artist Jeroen Hermkens, who has painted cityscapes around the world, including New York, Rome, Paris, as well as a series of paintings of Utrecht. It's fun looking at the paintings of Utrecht and picking out where in town the various spots are located.

Kunsthandel Juffermans
is located at Lange Jansstraat 10, and is open Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. The Chagall and Picasso exhibit is free -- although the lithographs cost from €300-7000 -- and it runs through 28 July 2009.
