An eye for art, a personal approach
KloppArt was founded by Nicolien Kloppert (32, Amsterdam) from a deep fascination with art and a love for the moment when a particular work simply feels right. What began with a personal collection of 20th-century works on paper has grown into an independent art advisory and carefully curated collection, built around one idea: finding art that truly belongs with the people and spaces it is chosen for.
KloppArt works with private clients, collectors, interior professionals and larger projects — from finding a first artwork or adding to an existing collection, to curating art for an entire home or project. Works are selected both from the KloppArt collection and sourced independently, always with the same personal, considered and curious approach.
At the heart of KloppArt is Nicolien’s eye: an instinct for works with character, a fascination with the stories behind them, and an understanding of how art can transform the way a space feels. The aim is simple: to find art that makes you look twice. And smile.
From collection to advisory
KloppArt grew from a personal collection that became increasingly difficult to keep to myself. Friends would visit, ask about the works on the walls and want to know more. Some became curious about collecting themselves. Others simply wanted help finding something special for their own home. What started as a collection became a way of helping others discover art and eventually, a broader advisory practice.
Today, the KloppArt collection brings together original works personally selected for their artistic quality, character and presence. It remains an important part of what we do, and a natural starting point for many of our clients.
But when a particular artist, work, size or feeling is called for, the search can extend beyond the collection. Through a trusted network of galleries, dealers, collectors and specialists, KloppArt sources and curates art for private collections, interiors and larger projects.
From one work to an entire art project, the approach remains the same: start with the person, find the art, and make it feel like it belongs.
Where it all started
My particular fascination began with 20th-century art and, in particular, the world of original lithography. I became captivated by the artists, the stories behind the works and the craftsmanship involved in bringing an image from the artist's hand to paper.
The relationship between artist and printer, the layers of colour, the imperfections and character of the printing process, all of it made me want to look closer. Atelier Mourlot in Paris became a particular source of fascination, as did the artists who worked there, including Matisse, Picasso, Braque and Chagall.
Over time, this developed into a deep knowledge of lithography and a personal collection built around works that I genuinely believe deserve to be lived with. That expertise remains an important part of KloppArt today, a foundation for the way I look at art, rather than a limitation on what I look for.
