Gallereo is going Continental this week and making our mark on Amsterdam. The city of tulips may never be the same again.
We will be hunting down some of the Netherlands finest offerings of art and photography, and forcing websites upon them...only joking, we're far too nice for that.....or are we?
A couple of things have caught our eye on the contemporary scene, not least the sculptural taxidermy of Les Deux Garçons. Check out Jaski Art Gallery for some regal displays of your favourite animals, we sure will.
Dawn Mellor will be showing at Galerie Gabriel Rolt and we'll be taking a peek at the opening reception on Saturday evening. Don't come if you're easily put off the hors d'oeuvres....
We will also be taking a trip to the Gorcums Museum in Gorinchem to see the Portraits of the 21st Century exhibition. This very old style museum has been making a name for itself in the Netherlands by devoting a floor of exhibition space to up and coming artists, with curator Piet Augustijn putting on shows that would be just as much at home in any of the more contemporary space in Amsterdam.
We're looking forward to seeing the work of Barbara Wijnveld and Hans Meertens, both of whom are sparking the interest of some of the countries more notable dealers and collectors.
