Dag Harm – Work That Lives On

Paintings and drawings by Harm Holtkamp

1–27 August

Opening: 1 August, 5 pm, including a reading of a poem by Frits Le Roux about Harm Holtkamp.

Harm Holtkamp had a close connection with Galerie Noord. In 2023, he participated with paintings and drawings in D A G, his final exhibition. After his death, a large part of his work remained with his sons. Not to be kept, but to continue living.

Harm created without ulterior motives. Selling his work played only a minor role; looking at it mattered far more. Yet artworks do not belong in boxes or storage.

This exhibition is a farewell to the artist and, at the same time, a continuation of the work. Everything on view here is free to move on: to other spaces, other walls, other eyes, to be enjoyed.

Since graduating from Academie Minerva in 1969, Harm Holtkamp produced paintings and drawings. He exhibited extensively throughout the Benelux and Germany. In Groningen, he was also known as the founder of Galerie Niggendijker (now NP3) and as a co-founder of Forma Aktua.
