For forty years, Galerie Fons Welters has been one of the best art galleries in the Netherlands. In the early 1980s, when galleries started shooting up all over the place, Fons Welters quickly forged his own unique position out of nothing. After initially concentrating on sculpture, he gradually extended his gallery presentations to include installations and painting. Artists could always approach him with ideas that would have met with little response in other quarters. One such was Job Koelewijn, whom Welters allowed to demolish the entire rear wall of the gallery for his solo show, The World is My Oyster (1996). Artists ranging from Joep van Lieshout to Magali Reus, fromTom Claassen to Evelyn Taocheng Wang and from Femmy Otten to Adriano Amaral have found a platform for their artistic development at Galerie Fons Welters.
