Director: Bob Haboldt
An internationally renowned art dealer in old master paintings and drawings, Bob Haboldt is a leading expert in his field since more than forty years. His trained eye is focused on different European schools, but his preference in the field of old master drawings goes to the Dutch and Flemish artists active in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Every work of his collection is selected for its very high quality.
Bob Haboldt founded his business in New York in 1983, and has currently showrooms in Amsterdam, Paris and New York.
The gallery participates in the Salon du Dessin in Paris, and The European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht.
Bob Haboldt is celebrating forty years of dealing in old masters with a forthcoming publication: Optic Verve. Haboldt & Co.’s Old Master Paintings and Drawings since 1983.
