L’Âge d’Or -Holland Amerikaplein
On 20 June 2021, World Refugee Day, Mayor Aboutaleb unveiled a new work of art by British artist Gavin Turk at the head of the Wilhelminapier. The artwork is a more than 3,5 meters high open door of green and red painted bronze. The door has a door handle and keyhole, also cast in bronze. L'Âge d'Or, as the work of art is called, is given to the municipality of Rotterdam on a long-term loan. L'Âge d'Or symbolizes hopes, dreams and opportunities as a door that is always open. A door without a building, but as a symbolic transition between two imaginary worlds, an old and a new one. L'Âge d'Or is the sixth in a unique series of eight works of art, in which all doors have a different colour, shape and handle.
