Press Release

Jacqueline de Jong was born in the Netherlands in 1939 and showed a keen interest in the arts from an early age. In the early 1960s, her association with leading figures such as the painter Asger Jorn and the writer Guy Debord, both initiators of the Situationist International, quickly brought her and her paintings and prints to the European avant-garde scene of the time. In 1962 she launched the magazine The Situationist Times, which she ran until 1967 with great strength of character, bringing her into contact with a large number of artists.

Influenced in her early years by the colourful energy of the Dutch Cobra painters, she quickly moved on to explore, in a highly personal way, playful themes as well as poignant subjects such as war, migration and the emancipation of women. In recent years, her work has been widely recognised internationally through gallery exhibitions in Europe and New York, and in museums such as the Stedelijk Museum and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Abattoirs in Toulouse, and the Cobra Museum in Amstelveen.

Her engraved work (lithography, silkscreen, etching, digital printing) spans six decades and remains relatively unknown, particularly in Paris, even though this is where many of these prints were produced. To coincide with the exhibition, Lelong Editions is publishing five new prints by Jacqueline de Jong, accompanied by a selection of rare works from the 1960s to the 2000s.

About the Artist

Jacqueline de Jong was born in 1939, Hengelo, The Netherlands. She died in 2024 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Over a career spanning more than six decades, her work explored the violence, banality, eroticism and humour of human interaction.

About the Gallery
Galerie Lelong is located in Paris and New York. It was founded by Jacques Dupin, Daniel Lelong and Jean Frémon.

The Paris gallery has been exhibiting recent works from artists of international standing since 1981. The 1980s were notable for artists who went on to become household names, including Joan Miró, Antoni Tàpies, Francis Bacon, Louise Bourgeois, Eduardo Chillida, Paul Rebeyrolle, Pierre Alechinsky, but also for the next generation of artists: Konrad Klapheck, Jan Dibbets, Donald Judd, Robert Ryman, Richard Serra, Jannis Kounellis, Arnulf Rainer, Nicola De Maria and Jan Voss.

In the 1990s, the gallery hosted artists who represented major movements in contemporary art: Sean Scully, Günther Förg, Andy Goldsworthy, Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Antonio Saura. The gallery also increased international recognition of the work of Ana Mendieta.

Since the turn of the century, Galerie Lelong has accentuated the geographical and expressive diversity of its artists: from sculpture and objects by Jaume Plensa, David Nash, Wolfgang Laib, Kiki Smith, Rebecca Horn, Barry Flanagan to installations by Barthélémy Toguo and Lin Tianmiao, without forgetting painting, namely David Hockney, Robert Motherwell, Kate Shepherd, Nalini Malani, Nancy Spero, Juan Uslé, Leon Kossoff.

Galerie Lelong has a large publishing department which produces and distributes engravings, lithographs, digital prints and multiple objects, and collates these works in catalogues raisonnés.

It produces monumental sculptures to order for public spaces and private clients.

The gallery is present at the leading international contemporary art fairs (Art Basel, Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Basel Hong Kong, Fiac Paris, Frieze London, Frieze New York, Arco Madrid, Art Brussels, Expo Chicago...).

The directors of the gallery are Jean Frémon, Daniel Lelong and Patrice Cotensin in Paris and Mary Sabbatino in New York.
