“Out with the old, in with the new” is an adage that the gallery scene often lives by. Salon Amsterdam aims to break with this limitation at the beginning of the new year by presenting art from the archives. Nine friendly galleries team up to celebrate the start of 2026. Together, we turn the Hazenstraat area into a publicly accessible depot full of artworks ready to be (re)discovered. The focus on anything that’s new makes sense: artists want to show what they have just created, and visitors want to see what is happening right now. But what happens to the artworks after they’ve had their moment, their spot in the exhibition or on the wall of an art fair? When they disappear into storage, they might lose the public’s attention, but they certainly don’t lose their value. TORCH has delved into storage and returned with a broad selection of classic, iconic, almost forgotten and newly relevant artworks from its 40+-year history. Famous names such as Edward Burtynsky and Loretta Lux refer to the gallery’s pioneering role in photography, while early works by currently successful artists Popel Coumou and Casper Braat represent our more recent past. And how about a rare chance to see a vintage Araki or Damien Hirst? On Saturday 10 January, you are invited to take a tour along the nine galleries that open their doors simultaneously and toast with us to the new year.
