The Merchant House presents and sells contemporary art. Established by Marsha Plotnitsky, Artistic Director, in 2012 as a modern take on the Amsterdam tradition of a merchant. It is a self-supporting art space rooted in its site – Amsterdam – and dedicated to showcasing important contemporary artists.We seek to explore the city as a critical nexus and reconnect with the avant-garde themes that exemplify it. In the four years of its program, The Merchant House has organized thematic exhibitions for international and Dutch innovators. In the 2017/2018 season the program continues with two series of projects: The Masterworks Series: Problematics of an Art Object and Making Things Happen: Young Artists in Dialogue.
