Andries Van Dam has three decades in the Fine art business. He has sold and advised on items sold/placed to the major museums & auction houses throughout the world. At one point he had his own antique TV show in the Columbia,SC Area for four years. The current Andries Van Dam Antiques & Fine Art, Inc. Art Gallery & Museum is located now in Camden, South Carolina. Andy's range of detailed knowledge goes from African Art, Eskimo/Indian Art, Glass, classic oil Paintings, Silver, all the way to Japanese and Chinese Arts. Objects of all these cultures are on display (and all are for sale) in his 6,000 sq. foot gallery/museum. Andy's global network of "pickers" and contacts makes it possible for him to get those rare and exciting objects on a regular basis. So much so that the inventory is always different. What makes Andy's art gallery so different from most galleries, is that it is so non-elitist. Most galleries frown upon customers who don't want to spend thousands of dollars. At Van Dam Fine Art & Antiques there are fine art works priced at hundreds. In addition museum quality works are priced at thousands. And also there are those one of a kind items that defy descriptions. Hanging on wall after wall of the sprawling gallery of Andries Van Dam in Camden are extraordinary art works by European master painters from centuries past - along with masters not quite so well known, but masters in their own right. The works represent every genre the mind's eye can fathom; artifacts from the antiquities, priceless porcelain from the Far East, carved masks from Africa, silver form the world's mines, canvases and other textiles treasured for generations. As a collection they rival many in museums; indeed, public museums are among Van Dam's repeat clients. Such museum-quality paintings, though, would not be for sale in a museum as they are at the Holland native's gallery. But with all the masterfully painted art to tempt patrician and plebian alike, and all of it for purchase, art is not Van Dam's leading commodity. Although the art provides tangible evidence of his wisdom and love of art, it is the intangible that he lists as his most precious inventory. "Trust," says Van Dam, "is really what I sell, and it takes precedent over everything else." His ethic, coupled with years of experience as an art lover and dealer, is the backbone of this trust, his success is predicated on it, and he holds steadfast to the responsibility that comes with it. But he doesn't shoulder it alone. When it come to verifying that a painting is all that meets the eye, Van Dam is backed by solid art information published in a collection of European dictionnaires that one of his mentors persuaded him to invest in when he first ventured into the art world decades ago. Detailed in these books, one to represent each of the art-important European countries are pedigrees of paintings printed somewhat like encyclopedia listings. "They are known as provenances," explains Van Dam, "and they answer the questions a potential art purchaser should want to know." Van Dam adds a provenance that includes biographical and professional information about the artist in a bound portfolio for every significant painting he has to offer. But, perhaps more important to a potential purchaser, a provenance verifies a painting's chain of custody, including prices at which the work sold in the past. With this information, a potential purchaser can see how the painting has increased in value over the years. Only the most discerning art dealer would take to task the information found in a dictionnaire, but Van Dam has in the past and it has paid off. By comparing encyclopedia-type listings found in one country's dictionnaire with a comparable listing in another country's dictionarre, he has occasionally been able to solve an artistic conundrum such as who really painted a particular work of art. When there is any question, he cross refrences what has been published in the trade, then checks it out further with any of a number of experts revered in the arts RKD arena, experts with whom he has become friends over the years. "I really want to dispel the myth there is nothing in the South," says the European art dealer who chose South Carolina as home years ago. "I am on a crusade to prove to people they can have fine art by a well-known artist for no more than some charge for a crude imitation. Then, if they ever need or want to sell it, they've got something." That customers have "something" that is validated in the provenance Van Dam puts into the hands of art buyers when they leave his museum-like gallery with their new treasure."
