The Dutch government is the biggest commissioner of art in the world. In the Netherlands it is obligatory to devote one per cent of the building costs of all government premises to art in the public domain. This 1% regulation has been in force for sixty years. This richly illustrated jubilee publication presents a survey of sixty years of Dutch art as well as sixty years of public commissions. The book opens with an essay on the significance of this art for the development of art in the Netherlands. This is followed by an essay on the history of the 1% regulation, the highs and lows, and the tension between art and architecture. The heart of the book shows sixty of the best works of art. The volume concludes with a list of every public commission placed.
