During the 1950s, Van Hoeydonck’s works developed from a concretely constructed abstraction of reality into purely geometrical structures, as displayed in the present work. Movement and light-intervention gradually led him from spatial sensibility to Space art during the early 1960s. In 1971, the crew of Apollo 15 placed Van Hoeydonck's Fallen Astronaut on the surface of the moon, an opportunity granted to the artist that still remains unique today.
Van Hoeydonck's oeuvre and contribution to the Belgian avant-garde is truly monumental. His rich mind, distinctive sensitivity and innate intelligence still informs his unique expression today.
Van Hoeydonck's work is represented in many public and private collections around the world, including The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Museum Boymans-Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Museum of Contemporary Art, Houston, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, Walraff-Richartz Museum, Cologne.
