The collection of Chris Suma at Gallery Suma focuses specifically on glass art from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. His expertise lies in the glass art of Johann Loetz Witwe, one of the most important and innovative producers of iridescent Jugendstil glass around 1900.
Gallery Suma’s specialized collection holds a distinctive position within the Netherlands. With a fresh perspective and deep personal commitment, Chris Suma showcases a carefully curated collection of glass art, complemented by exceptional works of art and decorative arts from the same period. The collection is primarily presented at art and antique fairs in the Netherlands and Belgium and also reaches a global audience through the website. Over the years, Gallery Suma has thus built up an extensive international clientele of collectors and enthusiasts.
In addition to his work as an art dealer, Chris Suma is actively involved in research on the glass production of Johann Loetz Witwe, in collaboration with the international Loetz research group. His passion for the field also drives his many international travels, during which he is constantly searching for rare and exceptional objects and collections.
Gallery Suma’s collection is constantly evolving and is characterized by quality, diversity, and a clear focus on the applied arts around 1900. In addition to Johann Loetz Witwe, the collection includes works by Louis Majore, among others.
