Axel en Helena van der Kraan
Axel en Helena van der Kraan was a sculptor-duo from the Netherlands, consisting of Axel van der Kraan (born 1949) and Helena van der Kraan-Maazel (born Helena Jirina Mazl, Prague, Czechoslovakia, 14 June 1940 - died 14 June 2020).[1]
They lived and worked together in Rotterdam since 1987. In 1989, they were awarded the Hendrik Chabot Award. In 1990, at the Museum Boymans Van Beuningen, there was a retrospective of their work with sculptors, drawings, and photography.[2]
Helena van der Kraan-Maazel died 14 June 2020 (her 80th birthday) in Rotterdam from cancer.[3]
She was called an artist, who "observed with a concerned look, who recorded her surroundings in noiseless portraits."[4]
