PRESENT. Percentage for Art in the Netherlands 2004-2006
is a detailed and illustrated overview of all the art commissioned
under the 'one per cent' rule (which states that at least one per cent
of the construction budget for a public building must be earmarked for
art).
It clearly shows how the Government Buildings Agency tries
to coordinate the art it has commissioned with the context of the user
as well as with the architecture itself, a concern that has frequently
resulted in both interesting and unconventional visual solutions.
