De Fundatie has recently been able to acquire 18 photographic prints of this Dutch photographer Yoke Matze who lives and works in London for 35 years. The series of photographs that Matze made is an interesting addition to the largest Citroen collection in the Netherlands, which also includes the Umbo painting. In Kasteel het Nijenhuis photo series and portrait are combined.
