The ongoing philosophy of Elliott Gallery is to continue to introduce a diversity of world renowned, critically acclaimed photographers from the international photography community.
Established in 2003 as Gallery Vassie, Elliott Gallery is a leading authority in the European fine art photography scene. We hold a diverse collection of work from both key historical and established photographic artists, spanning the early 20th century to contemporary. Our photographers have all exhibited internationally and have their work featured in museums, corporate and private collections around the globe.
Alongside our exciting exhibition programme, we also offer a by appointment ‘print room’ where clients, photography experts and enthusiasts can browse our collection.
Our clients and collectors reflect the diversity and breadth of the fantastic work we exhibit. Our roster includes public and private museums, corporate collections, experienced collectors and those looking to start and grow their photography collections.
Located in the Tussen de Bogen ("Between the Arches") space, in the heart of Amsterdam, the gallery concept was designed by Architect, Amy Ingrassia, who has delivered unique solutions for some of the world’s leading brands.
Addie Elliott said: “The European Art Photography market has gone from strength to strength over the past decade as photographers’ reputations continue to grow and investment values of the artworks appreciate. We’ve seen significant growth in our own business, connecting photographers and clients who share a passion for photography.”
