The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam will open 'Blue Dots' on November 29, 2025, exploring a 1951 Dutch government evacuation system that ranked artworks by importance during the Cold War. Curated by Nadia Abdelkaui, the exhibition focuses on works originally labeled with blue dots as 'less important,' including pieces by Nola Hatterman, Jozef Israëls, and Thérèse Schwartze. The display highlights shifting institutional values, noting that 10% of the collection—primarily still lifes and landscapes—was deprioritized in favor of modernist abstraction under former director Willem Sandberg.
