The Merchant House Presents André de Jong Exhibition Featuring Portraits of Beppie Gielkens During Amsterdam Art Week 2026

Rows of black-and-white abstract drawings displayed on a wall at The Merchant House.

With André de Jong and His Theater, The Merchant House (TMH) is pleased to present new works by the distinguished Dutch artist André de Jong (b. 1947). His fifth major exhibition at TMH, it reflects one of the most prolific periods of his career—which has encompassed drawing as well as photography, sculpture, and land art—and poses the question: What is it about drawing, above all, that has continued to fascinate André de Jong for over five decades?
