In de e-mail een wel heel erg spannend bericht aangetroffen, waarin staat dat ik een internationale prijs in ontvangst mag nemen!

Dear Tjeerd Doosje,

I am very proud to award you with the International Prize Andrea Mantegna.

The Prize is for the Artists that are worth for their artistic merit.

You will be awarded on November 4th, 2017 at the Social Theatre of MANTOVA (the award ceremony will take place at 3 o’clock in the afternoon), to the presence of collectors, journalists, politicians and art lovers.

If the artist will not be present at the awards ceremony, the prize will be sent home.

It is one of the most prestigious art awards awarded in the heart of Mantova.

In the September/October number of the magazine “Art International Contemporary Magazine”, you’ll find a piece dedicated to the artistic talent of Andrea Mantegna; moreover will follow the publication of the artworks by the artists who took part to the event.

On November the 4th, at the Social Theatre of Mantova will take place the official presentation of the event. “The Theater of Tradition” located in the historical center of the city and owned by the Society of Palchettisti. It was realized between 1817 and 1822, by the well-known Ticino architect Luigi Canonica.

Hoewel dit natuurlijk een hele eer is, eerst maar eens kijken of het allemaal wel echt is. Daarnaast is het ook maar de vraag of ik er wel bij aanwezig kan zijn, gezien mijn huidige gezondheidstoestand.

Wordt vervolgd.

N.B. dit blogbericht is in verband met operaties en het herstel ervan geschreven op een later moment (1 november 2017).
