On April 11, Atelier Volten opens the very first exhibition dedicated to the postwar collective Liga Nieuw Beelden (1955–1969). Despite its well-known members such as Wim Crouwel, Aldo van Eyck, Frieda Hunziker, Kho Liang Ie, Constant Nieuwenhuys, Shinkichi Tajiri, André Volten, and Ans Wortel, the Liga has remained largely unknown until now.

Through collaborations between architects, artists, designers, and industrial designers, Liga Nieuw Beelden sought to make the city more beautiful and more human. Their chosen means was the merging of different artistic disciplines. After the Second World War, the Liga built on the ideals of De Stijl and the Bauhaus, whom they considered their avant-garde predecessors.
