Aica Certificate for "Dick Raaymakers: A Monograph"

"Dick Raaymakers: A Monograph", published by V2_ in 2008, has been
awarded the AICA Certificate. The certificate is presented every three
years to a publication by the Dutch branch of the AICA (International
Association of Art Critics).

V2_ is delighted that Dutch art critics have recognized the efforts of
four years of research in this manner. The certificate is proof that we
have succeeded in our intention of producing a book that is of scholarly
quality and yet engrossing.

You can still order the English or Dutch version of the book through our
online store.
