Oosterbeek, a beautiful artists’ village
Since 2002, Art Gallery Albricht has been located in the old town hall of Oosterbeek, a stately building from 1866. In the 19th century, wealthy entrepreneurs from the west of the Netherlands liked to have their country cottages in this Gelderland village. They came here to hunt and enjoy the beautiful, rolling landscape.Nowadays, Albricht's national and international clientele comes from all corners of the world. For his work Bob travels all over Europe to find exquisite works. Or he just comes across a serendipitous piece.
What are the characteristics of the art dealer’s customers? Albricht: ‘Some of today’s collectors are looking for one particular work of a certain size for a certain wall in their home. Others may be looking for something to fit in with a more eclectic collection of, for example, Chinese terra cotta, black-and-white photography, a work by Karel Appel and a painting by H.W. Mesdag.’ Usually, the customers know exactly what they like. ‘In that case, my role is rather more an advisory one, about provenance and quality, and how to position the work in the artist’s oeuvre,’ the art dealer explains.

Kunstgalerij Albricht: a family tradition in fine art
Kunstgalerij Albricht was founded in 1973 and has specialised in quality painting ever since. Bob Albricht joined the family business in 1997 and has refined its focus over the years, concentrating on Impressionism, late nineteenth-century painting and the Classical Moderns, including Jan Sluijters, Leo Gestel and Kees van Dongen, with occasional forays into the CoBrA period. These works transcend interior styles, sitting as naturally in a contemporary setting as in a traditional one.
The gallery participates in TEFAF Maastricht, PAN Amsterdam and Treasure House Fair, presenting a carefully curated selection to an international audience at each event.
Kunstgalerij Albricht publishes an annual magazine featuring in-depth background on the current offering, art-historical context and interviews. It is available to existing clients and on request. Bob Albricht's approach is personal and direct. 'I sometimes advise people to buy even when they feel they are not quite ready. I know they will be glad they did.' That combination of expertise, continuity and genuine involvement has made Kunstgalerij Albricht a trusted address for serious collectors.
Marie Boots
After a career in sales, Marie Boots decided to pursue her passion for art history at the University of Amsterdam, where she is now completing her final year of a bachelor's degree. For over four years, she has worked at Kunstgalerij Albricht in Oosterbeek, where she manages the day-to-day running of the gallery as assistant to Bob.
What appeals to her most about this role is its variety: no two days are the same, and she is continually fascinated by the contrast between the gallery's familiar rhythm and the grandeur of international art fairs such as TEFAF Maastricht, PAN Amsterdam, and Treasure House Fair London. Her collaborations with museums, collectors, and international contacts deepen her professional knowledge. Her particular interest lies in the twentieth century: a period defined by emerging movements, growing freedom in painting, and profound cultural shifts.
