Our history
Studio 2000 Art Gallery
Studio 2000 Art Gallery is one of the leading galleries in Dutch and Belgian art. Originally established in 1985 by Howard Myers in Amsterdam specializing in work by Jan Toorop and his most important contemporaries. Since then Studio 2000 built a pre-eminent position in the world of modern Dutch paintings from the early 20th century and organized successful exhibitions. Since 1993 the gallery published a highly appreciated quarterly magazine. In addition, the gallery published various books on artists such as Jan Toorop. We work closely with museums and art historical institutions to present the highest quality for our collectors.
Since 2001, his son and daughter have joined the family-owned business and opened a gallery in the picturesque Blaricum. Notable exhibitions, accompanied by publications, have been held by Leo Gestel, Tinus van Doorn, Isaac Israels, Jan Sluijters, and Jan Toorop.
