She received her PhD in art history from the University of Leiden, where she completed her dissertation on animal depictions in Southern Netherlandish art from 1550 to 1630 in 2016. [5] Rikken has published extensively on Netherlandish art, and particularly concerning artists from the Southern Netherlands. [6] Some of her notable works include contributions to the "CODART Canon" and the exhibition catalogue "Frans Hals and the Moderns." [7] She has also written essays and articles for various journals and books, covering topics from exotic animal paintings to color printing practices in Amsterdam during the seventeenth century. [8]

Rikken began her curatorial career as an assistant curator of seventeenth-century Dutch Golden Age painting at the Rijksmuseum from 2006 to 2008. She later lectured in art history at the University of Amsterdam from 2009 to 2015. [5]

In 2014, she joined the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem as an Associate Curator of Old Masters, later becoming the Head of Collections and Exhibitions, then Head of Collections and Presentations. [9] [10] Her work at the Frans Hals Museum involved curating exhibitions such as "Frans Hals and the Moderns", and developing the museum's trans-historical collection and the Frans Hals Research Center. [11] [12]

In summer of 2024, she was appointed as the director of Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar, succeeding the prior director from 2008-2021, Lidewij de Koekkoek. [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]

During her time at the Frans Hals Museum, she oversaw several important restorations, including a monumental painting in the collection by Maarten van Heemskerk. [18] [19] The work was the centerpiece of the Maarten van Heemskerck exhibition, held from September 28, 2024, to January 19, 2025, at the Frans Hals Museum, Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar, and Teylers Museum.
