From now until 15 November, water company Dunea and gas and electricity company Stedin will be working on the pipelines for water and gas in the streets surrounding Venduehuis The Hague.

Fate was not kind to Trubus Soedarsono. He was born into a poor family and grew into an important revolutionary painter, whose artistic development came about during the Japanese occupation. The nationalist with a strong social humanitarian streak painted a portrait of his mother, sensitive and sorrowful, with the red-white pin of the nationalist movement on her kebaya as a subtle detail.

In March 2022 I will turn 65 years of age, and I have decided to leave the Venduehuis and retire. On 7th January 2014, I started working as managing director for the Venduehuis in The Hague. I had no background in art nor did I have any experience with or knowledge about auctions. At that time, the Venduehuis was in a precarious position and change was desperately needed. Today, almost eight years later, the Venduehuis is the market leader for arts and antiques auctions in the Netherlands.
Based on the latest update from the Cabinet, issued on 26 November and to be applied as of 28 November, the following rules apply at both branches of the Venduehuis.

On August 22, the name Venduehuis was mentioned in a broadcast of the TV program 'Undercover in the Netherlands' about the art trade in the Netherlands.
