AMSTERDAM... the ESSENCE a View of a Great European City, in the Words of the People Who Shape It AMSTERDAM... THE ESSENCE A view of a great European city, in the words of the people who shape it. DAVID BECKETT Portrait photography Joost van Manen | City photography Pim Kops | Art Direction & Design Sarah Loughran WWW.THEESSENCEONLINE.COM CONTENTS 1 Introduction INTRODUCTION INTERVIEWS Bas Kosters & 4 Lake Montgomery 66 122 Suzanne Raes Amsterdam is perhaps the most enigmatic city in the world: you can live here for years and still not know what truly makes things happen. Shirley Hart It’s a small place with an enormous reputation. Mention to anyone around the globe that you live in Amsterdam, and the reaction is universal: “How cool, that must be a great place to live!” Yet despite being recognised as one of the world’s great cities, the Netherlands’ capital is not like London or Paris. There’s no Big Ben or Eiffel Tower here. When Amsterdam’s five million yearly visitors are asked why they come, they answer, 12 Henk Schiffmacher 74 Jan Jansen 126 Job Cohen “For the atmosphere.” Yes, most visit the fabulous Van Gogh Museum and take a boat ride along the canals – but their main interest is to take in the special surroundings and the ‘feel’ of the city. In the ’60s, Amsterdam was named ‘The Magic Centre.’ For me that sums up the special quality of this city that enthralls visitors and expatriates from around the world. 20 Halina Reijn 82 Mariska Majoor 134 Nina Siegal I first moved to Amsterdam to work for Canon in 1998 and quickly fell in love with living here. When my job was moved to England in 2009, without hesitation I resolved to remain in my favourite city - and not long after, decided to write a book about what I now consider to be my home-town. Yet, despite my long association with Amsterdam, I couldn’t honestly say I understood its true essence. As I was pondering this, a chance occurrence led me in the direction of telling the city’s story in the words of the people who shape it. Coming across a Texan musician 28 Laser 3.14 90 Youp van ‘t Hek 138 Daniël Dekker as she played acoustic guitar out of a first-floor Prinsengracht window on Queen’s Day set me on a path of discovery that I could never have planned. Then again, in the words of Paul Spies [p. 36], “Nothing in Amsterdam is planned – everything is an outcome!” The development of this book matches one aspect of the true spirit of the city. I began with nothing more than an idea and a lot of enthusiasm for a rough concept called The Essence, and that concept took firm shape through fantastic co-operation from a diverse group of 36 Paul Spies 98 Mark de Kruijk 140 Peter van der Meulen Amsterdammers. Every time I contacted possible interviewees, they showed the straightforward attitude of appreciating a creative project.: He’s trying to do something new, let’s be part of it. It is exactly this spirit that has helped me bring Amsterdam… The Essence come to life. What followed was a year-long experience of encounters with fascinating characters while discovering new music venues, art galleries and entrepreneur meet-up groups. I came face to face with an anonymous street artist, protested against anti-gay violence, sat in a Red Light 38 Ahmed Marcouch 101 Larae Malooly 144 Pim Kops District window for an evening, and conducted two interviews in the Dutch houses of parliament. No matter how famous or successful, everyone involved generously offered their time and wished me the best of luck. Each time I met with these people, they taught me something new about our city. There are countless travel guides about Amsterdam, and they do a great job of telling you where to go and what to do. Amsterdam… The Essence 44 Mariette Hoitink 104 Sjaak Swart 148 Egbert van Hees brings you closer to answering the most intriguing question of all: why is the city like it is? Enjoy discovering the essence of Amsterdam. The makers of 52 Def P 110 Fya Hopelezz 149 Amsterdam... The Essence 60 Siobhan Wall 116 Marcel Ozymantra 150 Last Word (Youp van ‘t Hek) 151 Credits A new city appears in winter. A place that can be cold, yet also cosy and welcoming. It was snowing when Lake Montgomery first came to Amsterdam and still she fell in love with its charm. PAULUS POTTERSTRAAT THE ATMOSPHERE OF FREEDOM IN AMSTERDAM MADE ME BOLD AS A PERFORMER • LAKE MONTGOMERY AMSTERDAMMER SINCE 2002 SINGER/SONGWRITER FAVOURITE AMSTERDAM location – WG-PLEIN As I ambled along the canals on 30 April 2010, my mind was partly on the development of this book, and partly on the fact that my Heineken was getting warm and needed replacing. That date is Queen’s Day, a yearly celebration of the monarch’s birthday. It starts with a huge open market involving everyone emptying their cupboards and cellars, piling everything they can find onto the pavements and selling it for whatever they can get. A distinctive aspect of the experience is also the music. As the day progresses, revellers set up speakers outside their windows, play drums in the street and load disco gear onto boats. Seeing a cool, tiny woman in her mid-20s playing acoustic guitar in a window on Prinsengracht caught my attention that day. I listened for a few minutes and was especially taken with the song ‘Amsterdam’. A friend of hers enthusiastically waved a CD for sale under my nose, bearing the singer’s name. Who wouldn’t be intrigued by a musician called Lake Montgomery? A day later, CD in hand, I checked her Myspace site and it became clear that Lake’s Amsterdam story is very different to mine. Maybe she could tell me something new about this city? Perhaps she might have an insight into the real essence of Amsterdam. This sparked an idea and I wrote an email requesting an interview. While waiting for her reply, I began to realise this might just be the approach for my book that I’d been looking for: talking to people who represent the crossroads of diversity that is Amsterdam, in order to tell the story of the city from as many different points of view as possible. Lake replied a few days later and we met at WG Café on a sunny, Amsterdam spring day. And so the journey began. 4 AMSTERDAM...

  • Gary Schwartz
    Gary Schwartz A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings as a Test Case for Connoisseurship Seldom has an exercise in connoisseurship had more going for it than the world-famous Rembrandt Research Project, the RRP. This group of connoisseurs set out in 1968 to establish a corpus of Rembrandt paintings in which doubt concer- ning attributions to the master was to be reduced to a minimum. In the present enquiry, I examine the main lessons that can be learned about connoisseurship in general from the first three volumes of the project. My remarks are limited to two central issues: the methodology of the RRP and its concept of authorship. Concerning methodology,I arrive at the conclusion that the persistent appli- cation of classical connoisseurship by the RRP, attended by a look at scientific examination techniques, shows that connoisseurship, while opening our eyes to some features of a work of art, closes them to others, at the risk of generating false impressions and incorrect judgments.As for the concept of authorship, I will show that the early RRP entertained an anachronistic and fatally puristic notion of what constitutes authorship in a Dutch painting of the seventeenth century,which skewed nearly all of its attributions. These negative judgments could lead one to blame the RRP for doing an inferior job. But they can also be read in another way. If the members of the RRP were no worse than other connoisseurs, then the failure of their enterprise shows that connoisseurship was unable to deliver the advertised goods. I subscribe to the latter conviction. This paper therefore ends with a proposal for the enrichment of Rembrandt studies after the age of connoisseurship.
