Paul Van Hoeydonck (1925–2025) was a co-founder of the Antwerp avant-garde group G58 and became internationally known for his Space Art of the 1960s. In 1971, the crew of Apollo 15 placed his sculpture 'Fallen Astronaut' on the Moon, in tribute to astronauts and cosmonauts who had died in the exploration of space — still the only artwork ever installed beyond Earth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Gouache and ink on paper\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 320 × 242 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigned and dated: bottom left hand corner \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 21\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExhibitions: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaurice Verbaet Gallery – Art Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium — 11\/12\/2025–14\/12\/2025 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublications: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJan Ceuleers, Paul Van Hoeydonck, Antwerpen, Pandora Publishers, 2011, p. 80 \u0026amp; p. 281. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis artwork forms part of the maurice verbaet collection and can be viewed in our showroom at Volkstraat 58, Antwerp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"maurice verbaet collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58130616811903,"sku":"MV_051_Van Hoeydonck_Untitled_1956_0264","price":8500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/2307\/2055\/files\/2E6A2712.jpg?v=1786104637","url":"https:\/\/immodome-objects.be\/products\/untitled-1956-inv-0264-by-paul-van-hoeydonck","provider":"Immodôme Objects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
