In the city centre of Amsterdam you can find the gallery of Dutch Artist Harry van Gestel. Critics and collectors have described a visit to this place as: “A mind altering experience” and “Something that will live with me forever”. Some days visitors can see the artist working on a new painting, since the artist’s studio is right in the gallery space. Private and night presentations can be booked.

Side by side: Picasso and Renssen In the heart of Amsterdam's Arts and Antiques District you'll find Renssen Art Gallery. Paintings, sculptures and lithographs by internationally collected Dutch artist Erik Renssen (b. 1960) are displayed in an elegant yet informal setting. The gallery features their contemporary Renssen artworks alongside an impressive collection of Picasso linocuts, lithographs and pochoirs. The combination of these two collections, mounted in hand-made and gilded frames, makes a visit to Renssen Art Gallery a very worthwhile experience.

THE ART NEEDS US. AND WE NEED ART. We are definitely not a typical gallery. No we don’t want to be. OODE brings the work of young Dutch designers together with orphaned art – art from closed museums and art institutions. OODE wants to make ART ACCESSIBLE for a wide public, so we keep the prices very affordable. Visit our space in the centre of Amsterdam and discover a piece to adopt.
