The first contact via email resulted in an immediate response led to an appointment and introduction. The museum then met the colector, and all parties, including Cornelis went to see the Dufy collection.
Cornelis used his interpersonal skills working as a liaison resulting in a successful exhibition in the fall of 2014. This was the first Raoul Dufy Exhibition in 60 years that took place in the Netherlands. The photos show the catalogue and some art works that were on display at the Singer Museum in Laren.
