Since then, Bergman &amp; Van Laake developed into a flourishing art consultancy company with a circle of loyal corporate and private clients. In 2019 Joost Bergman landed a curatorial position at Museum Beelden aan Zee and said farewell to the company. With a new name and website I am now full circle, but seasoned Specialities of my advisory practice include the late 19th Century art and 20th Century Modernist painting and sculpture, both national and international. A personal passion of mine is Vintage Photography, where many uncovered gems still can be discovered. Needless to say I have always advised and bought contemporary art, a rather trendy market. But with a keen eye I have sifted out very early on artists that became sought-after at a later stage. Apart from serving private collectors and breaking the ice for first-timers, I have notably helped building the corporate collection of Allen &amp; Overy, The Netherlands. An ongoing project that was recently chronicled in a lavishly produced collection book named “Come in, You are welcome” (2022). and a new website: www.comeinyourewelcome.nl/ <img width="2756"

we heard of the passing Don Abel in April 2025. With the sadness came also feelings of deep gratitude towards his life achievements, artistic output and kind soul. He was recently featured among “fellow-Amazonians” in the fantastic show Amazonia (Paris and Bonn) and was also honoured with a 2026 solo-exhibition in MASP, where extensive research culminated in a bulky catalogue that shows at least 40 paintings of Don Abel that went via my hands. <img width="5760" height="3840" width_o="5760" height_o="3840" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3961c1a33df9db664559ca7ea87a87d3782d12a41eb116ac1f184f970e783b5/3M7B4520.jpg" data-mid="144516805" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a3961c1a33df9db664559ca7ea87a87d3782d12a41eb116ac1f184f970e783b5/3M7B4520.jpg" />Abel Rodriguez, Exhibition, Amsterdam(2018) <img width="1241" height="888" width_o="1241" height_o="888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fd8caf1453498426faea135a020480c2adf995f3ffe76b746f026ff6adec6e7b/abel2.png" data-mid="144516803" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fd8caf1453498426faea135a020480c2adf995f3ffe76b746f026ff6adec6e7b/abel2.png" />Abel Rodriguez, ganagucha(2019) <img width="1241" height="828" width_o="1241" height_o="828" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d48de46a278fe9240151c027582d881f4f28676a449a9176e5b216b28192fe8d/abel3.png" data-mid="144516804" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d48de46a278fe9240151c027582d881f4f28676a449a9176e5b216b28192fe8d/abel3.png" />Abel Rodriguez,terraza de centro(2017) <img width="3244" height="2747" width_o="3244" height_o="2747" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c40cc626763f03969e37bb6e5c66483884edbdf44f3b2b2b88e82448a2e7e94b/IMG_7230.jpg" data-mid="144516799" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c40cc626763f03969e37bb6e5c66483884edbdf44f3b2b2b88e82448a2e7e94b/IMG_7230.jpg" />Abel Rodriguez, Teylers Museum (2020) <img width="2126" height="1087" width_o="2126" height_o="1087" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e4755b6043cec6ee36fec75c93c24a7eefd2a4148b02f1d71403eada5c6e5fd3/abel4.png" data-mid="144516800" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e4755b6043cec6ee36fec75c93c24a7eefd2a4148b02f1d71403eada5c6e5fd3/abel4.png" />Abel Rodriguez, la maloka con frutales(2017) <img width="2510" height="1772" width_o="2510" height_o="1772" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/01df8286ead3f4572032e78d1f9ba9e256a51007ac2df8d3866d1fea3a973d95/abel1.png" data-mid="144516801" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/01df8286ead3f4572032e78d1f9ba9e256a51007ac2df8d3866d1fea3a973d95/abel1.png" /> Abel Rodriguez, vega inudable(2021) https://artadvisors.nl/Basel Sat, 04 Jun 2022 15:32:46 +0000 Marc-Jan van Laake https://artadvisors.nl/Basel Here you will find a series of personal notes about our yearly visits to the ArtBasel fair, Switzerland, going back all the way to 2003. Together they form a handpicked sampler of what I deem interesting at what still is the most important art fair in the world.

My goal is to share some of my 20 years experiences in art advisory. Decisive moments, the joy of discovering works, a few deceptions, but mostly building connections and collections.

How to choose this one partner to embark with on your art journey? How do you pick a lawyer? a guru? a restaurant? a dress or a movie? Talk to people, ask around and… talk to me! In 2012 I became a proud member of the international Association of Professional Art Advisors. Membership is by invitation only and ensures that anyone considering hiring one of the members can rely on APAA to have vetted them thoroughly and can attest to their abilities, ethics and professionalism. Up to the present day I am the only APAA member in the Benelux, due to my strict non-dealing practice that keeps my advices objective and free from external (financial) incentives. <img width="500" height="120" width_o="500" height_o="120" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/116167caf5915ad9a51876d9c362837e66fe01049b6d7c96a9098edccac8d3a5/association-of-professional-art-advisors.png" data-mid="144521354" border="0" data-scale="48" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/500/i/116167caf5915ad9a51876d9c362837e66fe01049b6d7c96a9098edccac8d3a5/association-of-professional-art-advisors.png" /> https://artadvisors.nl/Contact Sat, 04 Jun 2022 15:32:47 +0000 Marc-Jan van Laake https://artadvisors.nl/Contact Marc-Jan van LaakeWilhelminastraat 188 1054WTAmsterdam - The Netherlands marc-jan@artadvisors.nlmob: + 31 6 22941584 @marcjanvanlaake <img width="3533" height="5158" width_o="3533" height_o="5158" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1324fb78ba134b23fd2e15444527d2161c276c141e650fa399e1fdbcd6c8ae3a/marcjan1.jpg" data-mid="144521508" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1324fb78ba134b23fd2e15444527d2161c276c141e650fa399e1fdbcd6c8ae3a/marcjan1.jpg" /> Fotografie Neeltje de Vries
