When the museum first opened, De Pont's collection included about ten works by only three artists, but already among them were the characteristic stone circle by Richard Long and 'The first people' by Marlene Dumas. Now the museum owns more than 700 works by roughly eighty different artists. A number of them - such as Berlinde De bruyckere, Thierry De Cordier, Anton Henning, Roni Horn, Anri Sala, Fiona Tan, Rosemarie Trockel and Luc tuymans - were introduced to the Netherlands by De Pont of had their first major exhibition here.
