In 2022, Hein A.M. Klaver Kunsthandel celebrated its 30th anniversary. An anniversary year for Hein Klaver and his wife Laura Fresco. They run the art dealership together. Hein is busy daily with the collection, Laura is responsible for all communication and publicity.
The passion for art was in Hein Klaver from an early age. His father Jacobus A. Klaver built up a wonderful collection of Dutch 17th century drawings in the 1980s, always accompanied by his son when art purchases were made. The collection was of such high quality that the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam dedicated an exhibition to it in 1993 entitled “Drawings from Old Masters, The Jacobus A. Klaver Collection.”
Co-building this collection of drawings led to a passion for works on paper that is so typical of Hein Klaver. After years of managing the art collection of a major collector, Hein Klaver started his own art gallery on De Lairessestraat in Amsterdam in 1992. He specialized in drawings, watercolors and pastels, though no 17th century drawings. The period 1880 - 1950 fascinated Hein much more. A period with a diversity of art movements.
