Further information

I did some looking around for info in the context of the (currently ongoing) AfD, and found some additional information. Unfortunately, I am somewhat short on time the upcoming while, so I don't quite have the time to evaluate what all of it should be in the article, and which information needs further references in order to be added properly, but figured I'd copy the relevant parts of my !vote on the AfD over so that—assuming the article is kept—it's easier to find for whoever wants to work on the article (including myself at a future time, perhaps)

His work has been part of multiple significant exhibitions, including but not limited to Mart Visser Haute Couture in 2003-2004 in the Kunstmuseum Den Haag (which also had an associated book of the same name published by Dutch fashion journalist Fiona Hering), and the 2022 exhibition of his sculptures and paintings in Beelden aan Zee

Some of his fashion pieces are part of the permanent collections at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag (can't grab a direct link right now because the museum's site is experiencing some issues; however, once it's back up again, going to kunstmuseum.nl and searching the collection should work) and Centraal Museum Utrecht. Possibly elsewhere too, those just popped up in google without having to go and individually check the collections of every major Dutch museum.

Subject of a documentary film on his life and work, and covered in Milou van Rossum's book on Dutch fashion, De Nederlandse mode in 100 kledingstukken. AddWittyNameHere 00:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

User:gidonb also brought up the existence of a sizeable number of articles in Dutch newspapers, some of which can be found here. AddWittyNameHere 00:34, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
