Galerie Ramakers

Galerie Ramakers is a contemporary art gallery based in The Hague, Netherlands. It was founded in 1994 by gallerist Catalijn Ramakers and has been housed since 1998 in a nineteenth-century canal house on the Toussaintkade in the city centre, opposite the Royal Stables and the Palace Garden. The gallery occupies 180 square metres and includes an adjoining formal garden designed specifically for the display of sculpture. The gallery organises seven to eight exhibitions a year, working with a core group of established and emerging artists from the Netherlands and abroad. These artists appear regularly in solo, duo and group presentations. Galerie Ramakers also participates annually in national and international art fairs, including Art Rotterdam, PAN Amsterdam, Drawing Now Paris and Art Brussels. The gallery's specialisation lies in work with a restrained, understated character, such as that of Tomas Rajlich, Ton van Kints, Yumiko Yoneda, Jan van Munster and Willy de Sauter. Nature is another important theme, seen in the work of Sjoerd Buisman, Michel Hoogervorst, Klaus Baumgärtner, Warffemius, Mat van der Heijden and Hieke Luik. The gallery also has a fondness for surreal work by artists such as Ossip, Pat Andrea and Joncquil. Over its nearly three decades of activity, Galerie Ramakers has staged a series of exhibitions around themes including the circle, the portrait gallery, grids, monochromes and white works. Galerie Ramakers is a private commercial gallery. It is located in the heart of The Hague's gallery district and remains an active participant in the Dutch and wider European contemporary art scene.
