Annet Gelink Gallery

What Annet Gelink Gallery does

Annet Gelink Gallery is a privately held contemporary art gallery founded in 2000 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, operating from a single physical location at Laurierstraat 187-189 in the Jordaan district, with a secondary on-site project space branded "The Bakery." The gallery represents a roster of emerging and established international artists working across painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation, and performance, and is described in its own materials as having nurtured artists from early career stages to international museum and private collections over more than two decades. It is in the 25th anniversary year of operation as of 2025.

The offering is exhibition- and representation-driven rather than technology-driven: core products are programmed exhibitions (for example, Sarah Pichlkostner's second solo show, 21 May – 25 July 2026, and the Ed van der Elsken "Face to Face" exhibition in The Bakery across the same dates), supported by ancillary exhibition programming and special events. Underlying technology is a standard commercial stack — Artlogic hosts the website and powers newsletter delivery, with Google Analytics for anonymous traffic measurement and Vimeo/YouTube for embedded video — with no proprietary platform, no AI/ML components, and no mobile application. Reported integrations are limited to these third-party services.

The business model is gallery commission on artwork sales plus transaction revenue from art fair participation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; sales are conducted through direct consultation, by-appointment viewings, and online enquiry forms. Customer segments are split between private collectors (primary), museums and public institutions (primary), and corporate collectors (secondary). Distribution is hybrid: direct sales from the physical gallery, enquiry forms and newsletter engagement via the website, and global collector reach through art fair participation. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm is founder-owned with no external institutional investment or parent company, and operates with a team of 7 across sales liaison, gallery management, and art handling functions.
