Cathelijne's selection at the fair was guided by the overarching theme of accessibility. Art is for everyone and is essential. It can initially surprise you, touch you, or resonate with you through a particular subject or form. Art can offer reflection; on history, look ahead, or simply let you enjoy it. "Art is all around us, and we need to realize how important it is to us."
Object 1 – Rademakers Gallery - Stand 3
Alfhild Sarah Kulper, Dream Guardian, 2025, Hand-tufted and embroidered wool (leftover yarns from the textile industry in India and Nepal), 170 cm x 115 cm x 10 cm
Cathelijne is fascinated by art that surprises you. And that's precisely what Alfhild's work evoked in her. Alfhild creates small, safe worlds you can immerse yourself in using a variety of materials and colors.
Object 2 – Gallery Vriend van Bavink - Stand 23
Koos Buster, Button for world peace, Ceramics, 5 cm x 7 cm x 2 cm
Art can also make you laugh; the unexpected in art can captivate you and make you reflect on what you normally consider mundane or "ordinary." This is something Koos Buster excels at. He creates pieces to reflect on and sparks conversations through art.
Object 3 – Andriesse van Eyck - Stand 27
Natasja Kensmil, Johanna Le Maire, 2021, Oil on canvas, 250 cm x 230 cm
Kensmil is a female artist whose work is in numerous museum collections, and now also on canvas. This representation of a female artist is important to Cathelijne. “Natasja is an important storyteller who exposes history and touches and even confronts us with it.”
Object 4 – #Heejsteck - Stand 92
Tom Putman, Black Roses, 2024, Mixed media, 78 cm x 34 cm x 30 cm
Cathelijne: “This work clearly demonstrates that art doesn't just have to hang on the wall.” Art can appear in so many different forms and materials, and thus speak to everyone differently, and that's okay!
Object 5 – Enseoul - Stand H
Hyeonkyeong You, On the Day I Considered Leaving 2, 2025, Oil on canvas, 201 cm x 190 cm
This work touched Cathelijne; she was simply drawn to it. She believes this is also an important function of art. It can make you feel good or evoke a certain emotion. This particular work evoked a kind of calm and tranquility for Cathelijne amidst the hustle and bustle of all the impressions at the fair.

Basdew is a socio-cultural initiator, curator, and supervisor. Described by Tate Britain as "an emerging voice in the international arts and culture landscape," he represents a young generation at the intersection of art, governance, and community.
"For me, this selection is about the journey towards a connected society, a world in which we truly see and hear each other. But that journey begins with ourselves. It begins with self-reflection, with daring to look at who we truly are. Then with embracing the roles we play in life, allowing emotion and vulnerability, and finally with the realization that we are part of something larger: nature, each other. These five works together form a symbolic journey, a movement from introspection to connection. From me to we."
Object 1 – De Cock Antiques – Stand 6
Rococo Mirror, Gilded Wood, Circa 1755-1760, 84.5 cm x 37 cm
Everything begins with the mirror. This work reminds me that true change always begins within. The graceful forms, almost fluid in their movement, evoke how thoughts and feelings form and reform. For me, this work is about daring to look, truly looking, at yourself. Not at the image the world expects of you, but at the person who lives beneath it.
Object 2 – Daatselaar The Collection – Stand 40
Floris Arntzenius, Portrait of a Pierrot (presumably Buziau), Oil on canvas, 96.5 cm x 77 cm
After the mirror comes the performance. This work depicts a man preparing to go on stage, symbolizing the roles we all play. We are born into a world in which we are constantly performing, consciously or unconsciously. Arntzenius reminds me that there is beauty in that performance, as long as we remain curious about who we are behind the mask. It's an invitation to self-examination and acceptance.
Object 3 – Douwes Fine Art BV – Stand 111
Rembrandt Harmensz. Van Rijn, Self-Portrait, open-mouthed, as if shouting: bust, Etching, 1630, 7 x 5.9 cm Here we encounter emotion. Rembrandt shows us a moment of pure expression, his mouth open, his gaze intense. For me, this work symbolizes the power of allowing feelings—frustration, sadness, and anger. Unexpressed emotions never die. This small self-portrait is a study in humanity. It reminds me that discomfort can also be a source of growth.
Object 4 – Arnold Ligthart Kunsthandel & Bemiddeling - Stand 70
Pieter Starreveld, Air (Man and the Four Elements), Patinated bronze on travertine base, 1967, 33 cm x 45 cm x 23 cm
After the storm comes breath. For me, Starreveld's sculpture of Air symbolizes softness, movement, and freedom. The work invites you to let go, to flow like the air itself. Here, it's no longer about control, but about surrender, about knowing you are part of something bigger, and that you can achieve as much with gentleness as with strength.
Object 5 – Booij Arts Fine Art – Rare Items - Stand 17
Rene Lalique, Vase ‘Douze figurines’ with a decoration of female and male figures, Air-blown white glass with frosted and patinated parts, Circa 1920, Height: 23 cm
This vase brings everything together. The bodies moving around each other catch the light just as people catch each other's presence. The work exudes connection: between man and woman, between light and matter, between me and us. For me, this is the end point of the journey, the moment when introspection transforms into harmony, and self-knowledge translates into connection with others. The transparency, the movement, and the tenderness—everything I'm trying to express—comes together here. It's an ode to humanity. To how light travels through us, and how together we form a greater whole.
Object 1 – Dep Art Gallery - Stand 115
Alex Katz, Orange Hat, 1973, Oil on masonite, 27.8 cm x 40.7 cm
The Krabbés find Katz's unique in his way of capturing moments; "It's almost impressionistic; the flatness of the work is his completely unique style, which he always adhered to, even when people didn't like it." His technique is astonishing; he reduces it to the essentials, and his work may seem simple, but he leaves nothing to chance.
Object 2 – Galerie Mia Joosten Amsterdam - Stand 127
Jacqueline de Jong, 'Untitled', Ca. 1963-1964, Oil on canvas, 70.5 cm x 91 cm
De Jong is a female artist who only received the attention she deserves after her death. Why do female artists often spend their lives in the shadow of men, only to be recognized later, the Krabbés wonder aloud. She has a very free, individual language, with thick brushstrokes, hidden figures, and you can feel the passage of time.
Object 3 – Jaski Amsterdam - Stand 39
David Hockney, Self-Portrait in My Living Room, 2019, Color inkjet print on cotton-fiber archival paper, Edition 78/100, 44 cm x 56 cm
Jasper enthusiastically begins to talk when he spots this work by David Hockney. He was once stuck in an elevator with Hockney, and the first thing Hockney said when they were able to get out was, "I just want to have a smoke." It's therefore all the more logical that this self-portrait, in which he captures himself in an intimate moment with a cigarette in his hand, was chosen. Jeroen knows from experience that you can't correct in watercolor. "Everything has to be planned; the blank spaces left are all premeditated steps. There's no doubt in the work, and that's what makes him such a master."
Object 4 – BorzoGallery - Stand 36
Hans van Hoek, Kimono with Swan and Butterfly, Oil on canvas with carved and painted frame, 2017-18, 234 cm x 198 cm
In this work, van Hoek has incorporated the frame into the work by painting it as well. However, the outermost edge is still worked, so you have to look closely to see what you actually see. He is a courageous painter who dares to remove things and replace them with new ones. The father and son's favorite detail is the color transition of the bright green-blue stripe into the deep red of the rest of the work.
Object 5 – Mieke Zilverberg - Stand 78
Wood Statute of Man, Old Kingdom, 6th Dynasty, reign of Pepi II, Circa 2250 BC
Jeroen: “Look at that smile, look at that smile.” Jasper: “Yes, and look at how beautiful the technique behind the hair is, and especially how beautiful the condition is.” Gallery owner Mieke Zilverberg then explains that it's not hair, but a wig they wore back then to keep lice at bay. The Krabbés call being able to admire something so old and in such good condition an incredible experience.
Iris Hond (born May 20, 1987, in Harderwijk) began playing the piano at the age of three and started her formal training at twelve at the ArtEZ Conservatory in Zwolle, later continuing at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. From an early age, she made it clear that for her, music is more than mere technique: her later work is infused with personal stories, compositions, and “musical letters.”
Her repertoire encompasses both the classical canon (with influences from Chopin and Rachmaninov) and her own compositions, which reveal the influence of contemporary composers such as Ludovico Einaudi. Beyond the concert hall, she performed in unconventional settings such as shelters and prisons, and she founded the Iris Hond Foundation to support people in challenging life circumstances.
The concert will take place in Restaurant Carré, located on the fair floor, and is freely accessible to all visitors with a valid admission ticket to PAN Amsterdam.

We hope to see you at PAN Amsterdam from 2–9 November at RAI Amsterdam.
‘PAN is a maze that leads you to other worlds: worlds full of inspiration, dreams, hope and new ideas. It may well be the only maze in which you want to stay lost.’
PAN Amsterdam welcomes Annick Martens as its new Head of Operations. She brings a wealth of experience in project and event management and is looking forward to working in the art world. Annick succeeds Marthe Wijngaarden, who is pursuing a career in education after five years at PAN. (annick.martens@pan.nl)
Pien Terluin will fulfil the role of Project Coordinator this year and will support the organisation in various areas where necessary. She is a familiar face to many, having worked full-time as a fair assistant for the past three editions of PAN, which has given her a thorough understanding of the fair. You will also find her at the information desk during the upcoming edition. (pien.terluin@pan.nl)
Susanna Goossens will take on the role of Events and Sponsor Coordinator and will be responsible for the events that take place before and during the fair. Having worked at the RAI for many years, she is a great addition to the PAN team and will help take the events at the fair to the next level. (susanna.goossens@pan.nl)
Noor Winnubst is our new Marketing & PR Intern. She is responsible for representing PAN and its participants through marketing activities and in the press. With her combined studies at The Hague Hotel School and art history, she feels right at home in the world of art fairs. (stagiair@pan.nl)
Annick succeeds Marthe Wijngaarden, who, after five years with PAN, is moving on to pursue a career in education. We thank Marthe for her work and commitment, and wish her all the best in this new chapter.
From Thursday, May 1, the PAN team is officially moving to our new office at 2-8 Antonio Vivaldistraat in Amsterdam - a fantastic location, close to the RAI.
We are extremely happy with this wonderful place. The new office is in a special building that is designated as a city monument. It was designed by renowned architect Hein Salomonson, with a beautiful interior garden by landscape architect Mien Ruys. Until 2007, it housed the permanent exhibition space for part of the Peter Stuyvesant art collection. The characterful past of this monumental building naturally ties in nicely with PAN Amsterdam's cultural identity.
Please note:
Will you be visiting us soon or would you like to send us anything? Then use our new address from now on!
📍 Antonio Vivaldistraat 2-8, 1083 HP Amsterdam
We look forward to welcoming you there!
The central theme of Neelie's selection is minimalism. After all, minimalism brings you back to the essence, the core of life. Minimalist art is the opposite of boring, as you can continue thinking and fantasizing for yourself without being distracted. In fact, the viewer becomes the maker.
1. At BorzoGallery (stand 36) Neelie selected Constructie in plexiglas (1960) by André Volten. This work tells a story, a story that a viewer may not see at a first glance. Your thoughts develop further and suddenly everything is possible.
2. At Dep Art Gallery (stand 73) Neelie selected 3 Ovali Rossi (2020) by Turi Simeti. This work shows a certain optical illusion and allows the viewer to fantasize further.
3. At Coppejans Gallery (stand 61) Neelie chose a work by Hans Kool, Nieuwe Lekkerland (1948). The artwork gives the impression of being impossible to stand upright. Gravity seems of no importance, which is emphasised by the minimalist design. The addition of organic forms leads the viewer all the more back to the essence.
4. At M. Simons Gallery (stand 63) Neelie selected the work Untitled (14-04) (2014-24) by Ido Vunderink. The neon colours immediately attract attention, but the white-coloured panels simultaneously bring a certain calmness. The work consists of three separate panels which, despite their individual character, together form a harmonious whole, which makes it extra intriguing.
5. At Galerie Roger Katwijk (stand 69) Neelie was immediately intrigued by Stargazer (2024) by Pieter Obels. This work has an irresistible attraction that makes you pause when you walk past it. Its power lies in its intense colour and intriguing use of materials. The tension arises from the contrast between the rough material and the graceful form.
1. At Stone Gallery, The origin of Art (stand 53) Lonneke was amazed by a fragment of Pyrite from Spain. The work appears man-made, but these are natural forms. It’s fascinating to see how nature could create something like this. The interplay of elements makes it look as though it was crafted by human hands.
2. At Galerie Huub Hannen (stand 55) Lonneke selected Taraxacum II (2024) by Mirjam Abraas. This drawing reflects Gordijn’s perspective on the world. It emphasises the importance of observing details—not just the colossal or grand scale, but also the small, intricate elements. “What a beautifully made drawing.”
3. At Galerie Harms Rolde (stand 68) Lonneke selected Rennend hondje (1962) by Pieter Pander. This piece features a dog completely focused on a ball. The animal seems almost more human than animal. Living among humans, the dog has become fully integrated into the human world, a phenomenon the artist captures remarkably well.
4. At Galerie Jan van Hoof (stand 14) Lonneke selected a work by Eelco Brand, WL.movi (2024). This work employs an interesting medium that explores how humans might interact with nature in the future. It is a hybrid form of natural elements and digital ideas. It’s fascinating how the artist has used nature and given it a kind of futuristic vision.
5. At Galerie Mokum (stand 50) Lonneke chose Working home (2022) by Gustav Sundin. It evokes thoughts of personal life and home. This, with a laptop, plants, etc., has become our new "nature." After millions of years of evolution, this is where we’ve arrived. The world is now in your home instead of outside in nature. The plant is decoration; it no longer fulfils a basic necessity for life.
Want to hear more from Lonneke? On Tuesday, November 26, at 2 p.m., she will take part in a talk at the PAN Podium.
“In the overwhelming amount of wonderful and beautifully disturbing works, I have found a few animals that captured my imagination. One in ceramics, one almost hidden in an expressionistic painting, one sculpted in metal, and another one more than 2200 years old, an object once used to take a real cat from Ptolemaic Egypt to the eternal afterlife. The decoration on the head of this little mummy mask is extremely simple, or effective, just like the little dots on the one fascinating, little drawing I selected.”
1. At Gallery Fleur & Wouter (stand G) Pieter selected an intriguing sculpture by Warre Mulder, Even in Your Warm Pyjamas, Nature Can Come To Take Its Share (2021). Pieter: “Take note of the feet coming from the beast’ mouth”.
2. At Gallery Richard ter Borg (stand 129) Pieter chose a painting by Johan Dijkstra, Landschap. “Born in Garnwerd, in the north of the province Groningen, I immediately recognised the atmosphere of this expressionistic landscape. It’s my childhood. And then, suddenly, I discovered this crazy big horse…”
3. At Antiques Emporium (stand F) Pieter selected Jugendstil tafellamp met lampenkap van Johann Loetz Witwe (circa 1908). “Jugendstil has the appearance of smoothness, maybe even of harmless decoration, but don’t be mistaken: this is a real venomous snake, and scary as hell as you really take the time to look at it.”
4. At Kunsthandel Mieke Zilverberg (stand 78) Pieter chose a small cartonnage mummy mask of a cat (late-Ptolemaic Period, 6th-3rd cent. BC). “Ever seen a completely soaked cat? The head really fitted in this little mask from Egypt. And look at the eyes… just a few strokes, but totally credible, instantly. That’s the highest form of art.”
5. At Ubbens Art (stand 98) Pieter chose a drawing by Theo Lohmann, De open deur (1916-1922). “A great work of a small master, as Job Ubbens says. This one is of such an extraordinarily beauty that it doesn’t even require an animal to get me excited.”
Campaign image PAN Amsterdam 2024
Commenting on her work, Nynke Tynagel says: 'PAN and I go back years. I loved being seduced there, as a visitor but also as a participant, by the diverse range of artworks from different disciplines: from artisan masterpieces to intriguing art and curiosities from the past and present. This year I was allowed to design the campaign image, quite an honour. I soon knew what it was going to be. In my work, I often imagine a character, someone with a particular profession, a fiery passion or just a character that I then portray using his or her living environment and personal belongings. In this case, it became an avid collector couple. Their collection of art, antiques and design, shown here stylistically, is eclectic and driven by emotion rather than strict categories. You will come across them again this year at PAN in search of new acquisitions. They live in the midst of their impressive collection and still think they can free up some space in their
crowded private Wunderkammer.'
museum:
their contemporary
Spectaculaire verkopen
De belangstelling van het publiek was breed, van hedendaagse kunst, design en fotografie tot oude meesters, antiek en sieraden. Zo verkocht Endlich Antiquairs drie hedendaagse zilverwerken van Daan Brouwer aan het Drents Museum in Assen. Kunstgalerij Albricht verkocht topstukken van onder meer Jan Sluijters, Carel Willink en Leo Gestel, de laatste aan een anonieme weldoener die het kocht voor museum Singer Laren. Floris van Wanroij verkocht het paneeltje dat hij ontdekte met het enige portret van Justinus van Nassau, de buitenechtelijke zoon van Willem van Oranje. Ook andriesse – eyck galerie was tevreden en verkocht goed, waaronder drie werken van Diana Scherer en twee monumentale werken van Koen Taselaar. De ongetwijfeld jongste kunstverzamelaar kwam bij Rondom 1920: een 9-jarig jongetje kocht er een zilveren theeduimpje van J.A. de Haas uit 1803 voor € 200,-, waarvoor hij een jaar lang had gespaard nadat hij het op de vorige PAN had gezien.
Volgende PAN Amsterdam van 24 november tot en met 1 december 2024.
This year we’ve invited Miluska van 't Lam, Harper's Bazaar editor in chief, to ‘star’ ✨ five works at the 36th edition of the PAN Amsterdam.
Miluska celebrates female artists and gallerists at the PAN Amsterdam 2023. She selected five works to shine some extra light on at this year's fair.
1. At Bildhalle Zurich + Amsterdam (stand 43) Miluska selected Ethereal by Bastiaan Woudt. The gallery is run by a female gallerist, Mirjam Cavegn and director dr. Phil. Christian’s Hoefert, whose curation Miluska trusts completely. At PAN they show work by Bastiaan Woudt who made the newest cover of Harper's Bazaar: the winter issue, highlighting Women of the Year, with singer Karsu Dönmez as cover star.
2. At EENWERK (stand 31) gallery Miluska selected Expansive Reality by Sheila Hicks. She says the PAN can be proud to have a booth dedicated to this amazing female artist. This grand old lady of textile art transformed herself at 89 into a well respected artist who is celebrated by all major museums. Tip: ask in the booth for the book on Sheila, made by another female icon: Irma Boom.
3. At Daatselaar Fine Art & Antiques (stand 40), one of her favorite female run galleries, she selected Le col de Fourrure by Jean-Pierre Cassigneul. An artist that is inspired by Kees van Dongen. So is Miluska, especially after visiting the Kees van Dongen exhibition at Singer Laren together with her daughter who studies art history.
4. At Inez Stodel Jewelry (stand 22) Miluska selected a brooch ‘Pense a moi’. This gallery is the place to find pre-loved jewelry. It is run by mother and daughter Leonore and Inez. The name of the brooch makes Miluska think of self love but also love for the other. And that is what the world today needs, more than ever. “Love is always the answer, always.”
5. At Rademakers Gallery (stand 3) Miluska selected Blue Goddess, 2023 by Yamuna Forzani. This is the first time her work is shown at the PAN Amsterdam. Yamuna’s collection is designed not to exclude any individual but to be genderful, celebrating the multiplicity of roles and identities that we embody within social structures.
This year we’ve invited Ronald Ockhuysen, director of the VandenEnde Foundation, to ‘star’ ✨ five works at the 36th edition of the PAN Amsterdam.
“Art has many functions: it provides insight, works as therapy and offers the opportunity to escape from the issues of the day. Especially in these times, full of polarization, anger and incomprehension, art is the ideal hiding place. It makes it possible to muse for a while, and to get a moment of peace of mind.”
He selected five works that bring a moment of peace of mind.
At Booij Arts, Fine Art - Rare Items (stand 80) he selected a Linocut ‘Musée Municipal D’art Moderne Ceret’ by Pablo Picasso. For Picasso, applied art also deserved devotion and beauty. This poster is so much more than an announcement: it is a work that you can look at for hours.
At Galerie Fontana (stand 74) Ronald selected Theater #10 by Ruud van Empel. The artist is a master of latent unease. In his recent work, he explores nature through digital and analogue manipulation. The result is an enchanting landscape that feels uncanny at the same time.
At Hein A.M. Klaver Kunsthandel (stand 69) Ronald selected 'Portrait of a woman en profile’ by Thérèse Schwartze. Thérèse Schwartze (1851-1918) can be considered the most successful female Dutch artist of her time. Schwartze was known for her fast working method. According to an estimate from the year after her death, she made about 1000 drawings, pastels and paintings over the course of her career, which lasted roughly 40 years. And despite her fast pace of work, her portraits are extremely sensitive.
At Galerie Wouter van Leeuwen (stand 72) Ronald selected Burton Way by Marie Jose Jongerius. Los Angeles is the city of illusions and palm trees. Marie-José Jongerius makes it clear that these palm trees will soon also be an illusion: the iconic trees have been planted and will not survive due to climate change. In this way, these beautiful photos are also an ode to transience.
At BorzoGallery / The Mayor Gallery (stand 36) he selected TK1017 3/8-60 by Tadaaki Kywayama. He is a master of minimalism, who passed away this summer at the age of 91. The Japanese, who worked and lived in New York, made a name for himself with paintings that provide no guidance. As a result, everyone can see what he or she wants. In this way, this work gives free rein to the imagination.
This year we’ve invited Jan Dirk van der Burg, photographer and filmmaker, to ‘star’ ✨ five works at the 36th edition of the PAN Amsterdam.
“These artworks are all connected but not by style or medium. The works require you to take a long and good look to understand what you are actually seeing.” He selected five works for you to take a better look at.
At Contour Gallery (stand 25) Jan Dirk selected Frozen Time, Het Singel by Lars van den Brink. We see classic beauty of the city of Amsterdam in a 'where is Waldo' jacket. Secretly you see everything you hate and love about Amsterdam. A stream of zombie tourists, a lost supper and a parked beer bike, now banned in the center of Amsterdam. If Hieronymus Bosch had had a camera, he would have taken this picture.
At Duende Art Projects (stand 64) he selected Le Choix d’Avenir by Thierry Oussou. Thiery Oussou's work from Benin, ‘choose the future,’ has a wonderful contrast in the fragile, curving canvas and the straightforward imagery where life comes at you in a snap. A work of art that gets under your skin.
At Flatland Gallery (stand 96) he selected Kawa no nagare #5 by Kim Boske. This unique work incorporates indigo photo dots on a washi handmade paper. For this work she kept a living indigo organism alive at her studio in a blue barrel. Those have since died, fortunately we still have the photos.
At Roof- A Gallery (stand C) he selected Destroyed House Gaza by Marjan Teeuwen. Teeuwen builds carefully stacked installations all over the world. She demolishes what she finds necessary, digs down some more if necessary and then rebuilds all kinds of things. What we see in the photo is a photographic result of monk's work. This work was made in 2017 in a destroyed house in Gaza. Destroy and rebuild, more relevant than ever.
At andriesse - eyck galerie (stand 27) he selected Hyper Rhizome #2-3 by Diana Scherer. Diane Scherer lets the organic and mathematical root patterns do their work in the places where she lets them grow. Scherer reminds us that for true enchanting beauty we must be underground. We get that here in a framed carpet of roots. And don't forget to look at the soil below.
Visit the PAN Amsterdam until November 26.

In 2022 notable additions included several foreign top dealers, such as Rafaël Valls Gallery and the Weiss Gallery from London, and Koetser Gallery from Zürich. The newcomer’s pavilion, Walls & Cabinets, a permanent part of PAN since 2021, featured participants like Martin van Zomeren, Kersgallery, Jonathan den Otter, Duende Art Projects, MIAP, Joost van den Bergh, and the Ravenstijn Gallery. Two unique objects shown at PAN 2022 were an Egyptian wooden mummy portrait from the second century A.D., showcased by antiquarian and archaeologist Mieke Zilverberg, and a fifty-thousand-year-old mammoth leg discovered in the North Sea by fishers, displayed by Stone Gallery. Both items were sold during the fair.
The Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics also participated the fair and unveiled their brand-new publication Art and Cooking. Cookbook Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics, featuring recipes created by nationally and internationally renowned chefs, culinary writers, bakers and other foodies especially for tableware from the museum’s collections. It truly combined ceramics and culinary art for the first time. The presentation was followed by an extraordinary culinary tasting event.
The PAN Podium continued to draw a large audience during the fair. In the specially designated space, daily lectures were held on various themes, such as Masterful Materials, Art, Ceramics, and Cooking, Art Connects, and Desirable Design. Inspiring talks were given by Prof. Dr. Wendy Gers (curator of modern and contemporary ceramics at Princessehof) discussing sustainable ceramics and the future of the medium and by Merel van Helsdingen (founder Nxt Museum) and Anne de Jong (Upstream Gallery) about women in tech and the use of New Media Art. Renowned Dutch photographer Jan Dirk van der Burg presented a special ‘PAN-Show’, using his own photographs to explain the Stendhal Syndrome, a psychological disorder that occurs when someone is completely overwhelmed by the beauty of art.
On the final day of the fair, PAN collaborated with IMC Weekendschool and children’s book author Manon Berns to organize a scavanger hunt at the fair for young children, introducing them to the wonders of the art world in an engaging manner.
We are very much looking forward to the 36th edition of PAN Amsterdam from 19 November to 26 November 2023 at RAI Amsterdam.

Mark Grol, Managing Director of the PAN: “PAN is back and better than ever, after the last two turbulent years. With 15 more exhibitors compared to last year – when we had amazingly high visitor
numbers and excellent sales – nearly all regular exhibitors have chosen to return and we have an exciting line up of new exhibitors. This, along with an exciting programme of events should make this anniversary edition of PAN Amsterdam one to remember. For the expected 35,000 plus visitors we are hoping this year’s PAN will offer a unforgettable spectacle or an actual ‘ArtCity’ as the architect Winy Maas has depicted in our iconic campaign image for this year.
PAN campaign image 2022 by Winy Maas: ‘ArtCity. Everything is Art’
Each year the PAN asks a leading figure in the art world to design a campaign image to be used for marketing the fair. This year Winy Maas, architect and co-founder of MVRDV, has designed PAN’s image for 2022: “ArtCity. Everything is Art”. Inspired by the idea of regarding anything in the city as an object of art. “Whether it’s a bridge, a building, a park or a child’s chalk drawing on the pavement: everything has artistic value”. In the campaign image Winy depicts a city where every nook and cranny is piled high with art objects, “spaces where everyone and their ideas are welcome: an inclusive city brimming with art”.
14 tot en met 21 november in de RAI Amsterdam, steeds van 11.00 tot 18.00 uur
De 34ste editie van de grootste nationale kunstbeurs keert van zondag 14 november tot en met zondag 21 november na twee jaar terug in de RAI. De aangekondigde nieuwe coronamaatregelen maken dat PAN Amsterdam in de RAI, als doorstroomlocatie, met aangepaste openingstijden kan doorgaan: iedere dag van 11.00 tot 18.00 uur geopend. PAN Amsterdam en de RAI zorgen er samen voor dat bezoekers een veilig bezoek kunnen brengen aan de beurs. Bezoekers van PAN Amsterdam moeten bij binnenkomst een geldig coronatoegangsbewijs tonen waaruit vaccinatie, herstel of een negatieve testuitslag - niet ouder dan 24 uur - blijkt.
The 34th edition of the art, design and antiques fair PAN Amsterdam will take place in the RAI Amsterdam from Sunday 14 to Sunday 21 November. The National Art Fair PAN Amsterdam offers an extremely high-quality and versatile range of more than 110 participants. These art, design and antique dealers represent the top of the industry in The Netherlands. With experienced veterans such as A. Aardewerk Antiquair Jeweler, Kunsthandel P. de Boer and BorzoGallery, and enthusiastic new participants such as Bildhalle, Willem Baars Projects and St1 gallery. There are also a number of top foreign traders on the eclectic PAN fair present.
Mark Grol, General Manager PAN Amsterdam: “After an unprecedentedly successful exhibition in 2019, and a year of reflection in 2021 we will look ahead with a positive outlook together with traders. Full of energy
and confidence in the future. The resilience and flexibility of the entire culture industry has shown during the recent period. The Belgian art historian Paul Dujardin calls art the vaccine in the post-corona era. We are therefore pleased to announce that former artistic director and director of De Nederlandse Opera Pierre Audi the campaign image for the upcoming edition of PAN Amsterdam will develop in collaboration with photographer duo Maria Bodil.”
“More and more people are looking for meaningful moments and investments. They no longer only want to buy, but instead delve deeper and be inspired. A need that we meet with a diverse range of art, antiques and design and a varied fringe programming at the upcoming PAN Amsterdam like to fulfill. We look forward to working with our partners and participants on an exceptional, inspiring edition.”
Sponsors

PAN Amsterdam is na uitvoerig overleg verplaatst naar najaar 2021. De 34ste editie, die gepland stond van 22 tot en met 29 november 2020, vindt plaats van 13 (opening) tot en met 21 november 2021.
In ruggespraak met deelnemers en andere betrokken partijen heeft PAN Amsterdam een gedegen inventarisatie gemaakt en alle mogelijke aspecten gewogen bij de complexe keuze hoe om te gaan met de editie 2020 in de huidige situatie. Verschillende scenario's, waaronder een kortere, kleinere beurs zijn hierbij uitgewerkt. De gezondheidsrisico's voor alle betrokken, de financiële risico's voor exposanten en partners, en de huidige veranderlijke regelgeving rondom grootschalige evenementen zijn de belangrijkste overwegingen om de beurs te verplaatsen.
Mark Grol is appointed as managing director of PAN Amsterdam. Grol, who was nominated by the Board of Trustees and council of commissioners, will therefore take over from Patrick van Maris, who has held this post at PAN since 2015.
Mark Grol (born in 1970) studied art history in Groningen. He has been involved in the international commercial art market since 1995. Between 1996 and 2000 he lived and worked in Hong Kong, where he was general manager of an art gallery specializing in modern and impressionist European art. In 2000 he returned to Amsterdam and joined Sotheby’s. Among other things he served as an expert in nineteenth-century paintings. Mark Grol was the auction house’s managing director in Amsterdam and Paris from 2006 to 2015. Between 2015 and 2017 he was responsible for ten fine and decorative arts departments at Sotheby’s London. Until recently he was managing director of the prestigious gallery and publisher Cahiers d’Art in Paris.
‘For over three decades PAN Amsterdam has been the biggest Dutch fair for art, antiques and design,’ says chair of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees Ad ‘s-Gravesande. ‘The quality of the art and the expertise of the exhibitors set the fair apart. A few years ago The Board of Trustees embarked on an innovative pathway, and we will continue this under Mark Grol’s inspiring daily leadership. With hismany years’ experience in the art world, his extensive network plus his outstanding knowledge of art and the art market, he will carry on developing PAN’s identity, achieve its ambitions for the future and strengthen its market position. Mark Grol will also be tasked with redefining the services relationship between PAN Amsterdam and TEFAF in the medium term. This means that the management contract with TEFAF in its current form will end in due course. This decision was taken in consultation with Patrick van Maris, TEFAF’s CEO, who until today was also managing director of PAN Amsterdam. Van Maris, too, advocates a gradual transition to a new relationship with PAN Amsterdam. The 2019 fair is being organized under the TEFAF umbrella. The goal is to stage the fair ourselves for the first time in 2020.’
‘I know PAN Amsterdam very well. It’s a tremendous fair that’s still vigorous and relevant,’ says Mark Grol. ‘The Dutch art market is its own ecosystem, and PAN Amsterdam plays an important part in it. Here, in a city fizzing with creativity and innovation, I’m taking over the helm of a splendid fair’s further development in a changing art market with, in due course, our own new team. After nearly eight years of working abroad, I’m very proud to be putting my shoulder to the wheel back here again.’
After a successful final weekend, PAN Amsterdam had welcomed more than 40,000 visitors to the thirty-second fair. The fair for art, antiques and design with 110 exhibitors from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Italy had already recorded good sales during the opening weekend and the trend continued throughout the week and the closing weekend.
‘Three years ago, we embarked on a new course. As a result, we now see that visitors can find PAN Amsterdam and appreciate the items on offer, which have all been vetted by our vetting committees. Sales are good across the board,’ said managing director Patrick van Maris. Chairman Roberto Payer said ‘This year the link between PAN and Amsterdam and the collaboration with photographer Erwin Olaf were the major highlights. His individual and revealing approach produced fantastic results. The wonderful images for the marketing campaign and the exhibition at PAN Amsterdam strengthened the link with the city. I’m proud of the result.’
A recently discovered work by Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) can be seen at this year’s PAN Amsterdam. Willem de Winter, the well-known presenter of the TV programme ‘Tussen Kunst en Kitsch’ and owner of Kunsthandel E.J. Wisselingh & Co recognized theMondrian during an appraisal. It is a 1901 portrait of Elisabeth Sophia Maria Cavalini (1873-1933) from Mondrian’s realistic period. The painting, measuring 73 x 53 cm, was previously unknown, has never been shown before and is not described in any catalogue raisonné.
The painting is now on the market and on view to the public for the first time. It is rare for new works to be added to Mondrian’s oeuvre.
How does the Art Loss Register work?
The Art Loss Register maintains a database that includes 500,000 items registered as lost, stolen or subject to a dispute. We were established in 1990 as a partnership between the art trade and insurance industry to protect the trade and its clients from inadvertently handling stolen property. We receive reports of losses every day from law enforcement, insurers, museums, the trade and collectors worldwide. We then compare objects on the market against the database to protect the art trade and its clients from handling stolen goods.
What type of items are registered on the database?
The ALR can register any types of lost or disputed items, so long as they are unique – from the more obvious paintings, furniture and antiquities, as well as silver, clocks, medals and coins, instruments, collectibles, jewellery and watches – to name a few.
What happens if the ALR discovers a lost or disputed item?
If an object is matched to one registered on the ALR database, we put the current holder in touch with the person or institution that notified us of the claim. The issue can thereby be resolved directly by the police or a civil claim, or by negotiation between the two (or more) parties. We work on these cases every day worldwide, often assisting with negotiations or mediation, or acting on behalf of the claimant to verify and pursue a claim.
How does the ALR work at PAN Amsterdam?
The ALR is included in the vetting at PAN Amsterdam, where we search exhibited objects at the fair. PAN Amsterdam is one of 15 fairs around the world that subscribe to this service, also including the three TEFAF and three Art Basel fairs. At the fair, the ALR compares each object on the fair stand against the database, and check to see if it is similar to any recorded on the database as lost, stolen or subject to a dispute. If an object is matched to one on the database, it is removed from sale until the issue is resolved. We are available to PAN exhibitors and visitors to carry out these checks at the fair, and to provide ALR Certificates as evidence of this ‘due diligence’. The Certificate is provided once the ALR’s has conducted some extra provenance research, to see if there might be any issues in the history of the item. This is particularly relevant in identifying items that may have been misappropriated in the period 1933-45, such as those confiscated from Jewish families or subject to forced sales.

For the thirty-second edition of the fair PAN Amsterdam (18-25 November 2018), the internationally renowned, Amsterdam-based photographer is creating eight new portraits with star objects displayed by PAN exhibitors. He is photographing eight objects from exhibitors’ collections against the background of the dynamic city of Amsterdam with its residents. These photographs will be shown with the objects in the special exhibition on the floor of the fair.
He is using this series to presentrent striking contrasts in location or between the portayed and the artwork, reinforcing the link that has been forged between the fair and the city as the centre of Dutch art and the art market. A selection of these photographs will be used for the campaign image for this year’s PAN Amsterdam.
PAN Amsterdam began commissioning photographers to create a campaign image in 2016. Eva Roovers and Koen Hauser preceded Erwin Olaf. It is the first time the special exhibition and the campaign image have been created by a single artist.
