On 5 and 6 October, more than 650 lots from the estate of Antoon Gaemers were up for auction at Venduehuis The Hague. Gaemers, the renowned horologist from The Hague, passed away in 2020. In an auction titled ‘The Antoon Gaemers Collection – Four Generations of Chronometry’, his collection, including clocks, wrist- and pocket watches, tools for clock- and watchmakers, watch keys and books, was on offer. The auction was very successful.
“Water, the idea of drawing water, is always appealing to me. If it’s clear water anyway, transparent water. You can look on it, through it, into it, see it as volume, see it as surface…”
On Friday evening 21 October 2022, Venduehuis The Hague organises an online charity auction for the ‘artist-in-residence’ (AiR) programme of the Van GoghHuis in Zundert. 48 works will be on offer, created by artists who have worked in the studios of the Van GoghHuis or have had an exhibition there. All profits will go to the artist-in-residence project.
Our current auction ‘The Antoon Gaemers Collection: Four Generations of Chronometry’ is a unique and exceptional auction, presenting clocks, watches, tools, books, and accessories from the estate of Antoon Gaemers.
On the 1st of August, our former colleague Rob Guldenaar passed away at the age of 84.
