For years already, we have been specializing in auctioning paintings from the former Dutch East Indies. We are a global player in this area and the number one in Europe.

If you want to have your work(s) valuated, I would like to receive the dimensions (within the frame) as well as some photographs. These can be sent to rene@zeeuwsveilinghuis.nl or via Whatsapp (0031(0)6-51 41 43 51). Based on the photographs, you will receive a preliminary estimate.

For more exclusive works, a home visit is possible. You are also welcome at our offices in Middelburg and Amsterdam (by appointment only).

Examples of artists we are always interested in:
Willem Gerard Hofker, Basoeki Abdullah, Rudolf Bonnet, Raden Saleh, Romualdo Locatelli, Hendra Gunawan, Gerard Pieter Adolfs, Walter Spies, Adrien Jean Le Mayeur de Merpres, Theo Meier, Pieter Ouborg, Arie Smit, Lee Man Fong, Willem Imandt, Auke Sonnega, Isaac Israëls, Willem Dooyewaard, S. Sudjojono, Luciën Frits Ohl, Hal Wichers, etc.

The Zeeuws Veilinghuis has published a new book about Rudolf Bonnet: ‘Rudolf Bonnet – beauty remains’. The text was written by Dr. H. de Roever – Bonnet, René de Visser was responsible for the image editing. The book contains many previously unpublished images. You can view part of the book in the webshop: WEBSHOP.

The Zeeuws Auction House has auctioned approximately 150 works by Rudolf Bonnet over the last 10 years, including one for no less than € 380,000 (hammer price).

In October 2018, we organized the exhibition ‘Lee Man Fong, back in the Netherlands after seventy years’.

The exhibition was opened by the Ambassador of Indonesia, His Excellency I Gusti Agung Wesaka Puja.

The Chinese-Indonesian artist Lee Man Fong (1913 – 1988, also known as Lee Man Fung) is well known in Southeast Asia. In the Netherlands, however, many have never heard of him, although he even lived here for a few years around 1950. His exhibitions were received with great enthusiasm in those days.

In the past years, our auction house has sold many paintings by Lee Man Fong already. To give you an impression: in the last 10 years we sold ca. 90% of all paintings by Lee Man Fong that have been auctioned in Europe. This means Zeeuws Veilinghuis sold no less than 35 of his works!

All of this made us decide to offer the Dutch public a renewed introduction to Lee Man Fong by means of an exhibition. In addition, we hope this will help us gather more information for our book about Lee Man Fong’s Dutch period.
