“Kersgallery exhibits top works by top artists. These works are often by artists that have earned their stripes from a museum-like perspective, but i also strive to offer opportunities to younger artists that i believe in. I often pair this upcoming talent with the bigger name artists, which often results in a source of inspirations for both parties. There are actually two art movements that are exhibited by Kersgallery. On the one hand we exhibit artists that show the theatrical and absurdity of daily life – and that of the worldstage; Raquel van Haver, Gé-Karel van der Sterren, Karel Sargsyan and David Bade. On the other hand we show artists who wish to tell nature’s miraculousness, and all her secrets, through abstract-impressionistic gestures; Lotte Wieringa and Marc Mulders. With all artists, these story’s of this miraculous, mystical nature – or the theatrical and absurd daily reality, are paired with an element of incantation and sublimation.”

KERSGALLERY supports the Dutch Gallery Fair Practice Code
The relationship between gallery and artist must be laid down in writing, including agreements on the duration of the contract, pricing, and any applicable discounts. Other topics that may be included in this document are: monitoring and evaluation of agreements, goals of both parties (e.g., regarding international visibility), relationships with a second gallery, arrangements concerning the sharing of possible discounts, third-party commissions, or the allocation of costs such as transport, photography, insurance, or exhibition installation. Model contracts are available via the NGA website.
The artist retains ownership of the artwork until full payment has been made to the gallery, except in the case of secondary market sales. This also applies in the event of bankruptcy and/or seizure of the gallery.
The gallery must pay the artist their full share of the agreed sale price within 60 days after the sale of the work, including the buyer’s name and address, and a copy of the invoice.
Unsold artworks held by the gallery must always be returned to the artist within one month upon request.
Relationships between galleries may be competitive, but must remain loyal to the interests of the artist when multiple galleries represent the same artist. If one gallery works exclusively with an artist—thus acting as the artist’s ‘main gallery’—and another gallery wishes to organize an exhibition with the same artist, the involved parties must make written agreements regarding the conditions under which the exhibition may take place (see NGA model contract for an example).
The gallery is expected to be knowledgeable and professional, and to maintain that level of expertise.
The gallery guarantees the authenticity of the artworks it sells.* If an independent, recognized authority determines that a work is inauthentic, the gallery must take back the work and refund the full purchase price to the buyer.
The gallery must state its mission, program, working methods, and artist roster on its website.
The gallery is expected to act in accordance with the Fair Practice Code (fairpracticecode.nl), which also includes safeguards against misconduct within or outside the gallery.
*Authenticity certificates can be obtained through the Dutch Gallery Association (NGA).
