Since 1984 TORCH Gallery has been of major importance to photography in both the Netherlands and abroad. With great enthusiasm and passion gallery owner Adriaan van der Have has provided a platform for talented and today well-known artists within his gallery. With a clear eye for young and self-willed talent he has managed to present trendsetting and sometimes controversial art. The jubilee exhibition offers work by 26 artists - one artist per year - and thus presents a varied survey of the stirring history of the gallery.

One artist per year:
With works by Anton Corbijn, Gerald van der Kaap, Inez van Lamsweerde, Blommers & Schumm, Terry Rodgers, Loretta Lux, Starn Twins, Margi Geerlinks, Sanchez Brothers, Daniëlle Kwaaitaal, Henk Tas, Twan Janssen, De Sirenen, Alan David Tu, Annie Sprinkle, Teun Hocks, Ellen Kooi, Jochen Mülhenbrink, Stepanek & Maslin, Martin Denker, Carolus, Daniël Kramer, Charlemagne Palestine, Servaas, Eelco Brand and Wouter Deruytter.

The exhibition pays homage to Adriaan van der Have.
