Joop van der Broek's abstract modernist art works have fallen into obscurity and his name has almost been completely forgotten. Some of his works can still be found in the Dutch cities of Dordrecht, Utrecht, Rotterdam although many of them haven fallen into disarray and/or have completely disappeared over the years. Joop van der Broek was one of the most prolific modernist artist during the 1950s and 1960s. He created large scale sculptural wall and glass art pieces, often using a vibrant mix of glass, ceramic and glazed tile. Joop van der Broek was often commissioned for projects of the Dutch government and for office buildings. He was often hired by the Dutch modernist architect Huig Aart Maaskant to decorate his minimalist buildings including the Tomado Office Building in Dordrecht.
