Pieter Sanders’ collection of books on film in the collection of Eye Film Museum, Amsterdam
In 2018, lawyer and art collector Pieter Sanders (1938 - 2018) donated his collection of books on the history of cinema to Eye Filmmuseum. This collection of books on film which Pieter personally acquired from rare book sellers during his trips abroad aligns with the experimental, multimedia nature of the art collection Sanders and his wife, the politician and administrator Marieke Sanders-ten Holte (1941). Sanders’ book collection is exceptional in multiple ways, and was way ahead of its time. See the online review by Abel van Oosterwijk on the website of Eye.
