Dutch Equine Art Fair 2024

The Dutch Equine Art Fair 2024 was a curated exhibition of contemporary equine art, held at the Living Horse Museum in Amsterdam. The second edition brought together 23 international artists working across sculpture, painting, photography and mixed media.

​

The fair takes place at De Hollandsche Manege, the oldest riding school in the Netherlands and home to the Living Horse Museum.

The Dutch Equine Art Fair was initiated by museum directors Elsbeth Bos and Vincent Valk, who continue to support its development

as a platform for contemporary equine art within this historic setting.

​

Working in close collaboration with the museum, the exhibition is developed and curated with a focus on direction, coherence and the relationship between individual works and the wider presentation.

​

As a second edition, the exhibition further developed the curatorial framework established in the first year, placing greater emphasis on the coherence of the body of work and the dialogue between individual artists within the exhibition as a whole.

​

A dedicated presentation by photographer Arnd Bronkhorst, Equine Paradox, formed a distinct component within the exhibition.

His work explored the contrast between the dynamic context of equestrian sport and the quieter presence of the horse, adding another layer to the curatorial narrative.
