Project
CI005.S1.1946.PR1
Description:
In order to better coordinate numerous war memorial committees, the Dutch national government instituted a Central Commission for War and Peace Memorials. The commission initiated a national monument project in 1946 with the direction of J. Henrick Muller, who chose Dam Square, Amsterdam, for its site. The existing plan drew on an existing municipal Amsterdam memorial. Sculptor John Raedecker designed a sculpture group supported by an obelisk and Oud was enlisted by Raedecker to create the memorial's spatial design for the sculptures and urns. Oud chose the memorial site opposite the palace in Dam Square. Despite pressure to change the site position, the committee submitted Oud's design and it was approved in 1950. The sculptures and monument were completed in 1956 with an opening ceremony held in May (Taverne et al. 2001, 457-460). Project series includes partial sections and plans showing sculptures by Raedecker.
