Helen Verhoeven
Helen Verhoeven (born 1974, Leiden) is a painter and sculptor based in Berlin.[1] Verhoeven was born in the Netherlands and moved to the U.S. in 1986.[2] She attended the San Francisco Art Institute, New York Academy of Art, and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam.[3] In 2010, she was the winner of the Wolvecamp Award, a 18,500 euro Dutch art prize for painters under 40 years old.[4] A catalog, Part Pretty, was published in connection with the Wolvecamp award.[5] Verhoeven's works seem to explore the theme of ceremonial gatherings. Her work also conjures themes of burlesque, largely of the Weimar period. Helen is the daughter of acclaimed film director Paul Verhoeven.[6]
