general program
Kahmann Gallery was founded late 2004 by collector and entrepreneur Roy Kahmann. While the original focus was purely on Dutch vintage photography, the scope has broadened over time to include international photographers and younger talents. Kahmann Gallery is as a specialist in the presentation and sale of exclusive fine art photography that has either made history or will most likely do so. The gallery is also a supporter of new photography talent and has created Kahmann Gallery LAB to coach these artists on their first steps into the art world.

Kahmann Gallery’s presentation revolves around three artists who use photography to highlight the world around us from a unique angle. Whether it concerns land- or seascapes like the works by Brendan Pattengale and Katrien Vermeire or Joep Hijwegen’s street photography, all their images show our surroundings in an unusual, almost abstract matter, drawing attention to aspects of the world around that most of us don’t normally notice. Color plays an important role in their work and this presentation, conveying meaning and emotions, and questioning our perception of reality.
