This amazing book shows more then 450 paintings and sculptures from 70 artists out of the Van Soest Collection. Rardy van Soest began his collection of "Fantastic Realism" in about 1990 with the purchase of paintings by Johfra. Fascinated by his surreal realism and curious to see other interpretations, he began to look for other artists and started to collect. The van Soest collection is one of the most important and unique collections of Fantastic Realism in the world. This book gives a good overview of this collection.
