‘Serenity’ een foto van Natuur fotograaf Henkjan Kievit Geproduceerd door Zart. De stilte en kalmte van de opkomende de zon in het prachtige rivierenland. Vastgelegd in een subliem kunstwerk.
4 wolkenkrabbers versmelten tot één. Het beeld gaat over een behoefte aan saamhorigheid en verbroedering in een extreem individualistische samenleving die NYC kent. Geld, macht en hebzucht leiden tot afstand en vervreemding Manhattan is een plek waar dit tot extreme paradoxale afstand in de mensheid heeft geleid. Terwijl er juist zoveel behoefte is aan eenheid contact en de harde kille realiteit vervaagt in dit beeld en alles komt samen.
Zart heeft ‘Take me to the clouds above’ laten afdrukken op HARMAN Galerie Digital Silver RC papier. Een lichtgevoelig zwart wit papier wat wordt ontwikkeld en gefixeerd in ILFORD zwart-wit chemicaliën. HARMAN Galerie RC Digital Silver is ontworpen met de laatste zwart-wit zilverhalogenide technologie, geoptimaliseerd voor moderne laser-fotobelichters zoals de Durst Lambda. De excellente contrast- en scherpteweergave zorgen voor een perfecte reproductie van hoogwaardig monochroom fotowerk en is zeer geschikt voor zwart-wit afdrukken en om te plexificeren
Zwart-wit foto afdrukken op RC papier zijn, onder alle lichtomstandigheden, vrij van kleurzwemen. De helder witte papierdrager zorgt voor een nog krachtiger beeld. De print is gemonteerd op 3mm dibond en geplexificeerd met 3 mm hoogglans acrylaat en heeft een grootte van 100cm x 100cm.
‘Take me to the clouds above’ is een museumwaardig fotokunstwerk van absolute top kwaliteit.
‘Take me to the clouds above’ wordt geproduceerd in een beperkte oplage van 10 stuks en wordt geleverd met een door Bram Kloos gesigneerd certificaat.
It has been a hot item for a while: recycling machines, waste and what is more for a better future. If devices can be recycled, why not art? Zart has been working with a recycling model since the company started. Zart rents out and sells reproductions and reproductions only. The originals, including the copy rights, remain the artist’s. Always. When a work comes back, Zart recycles it in the form of an ex-rental-for -sale or rents the repro out a second time. This way of buying and selling saves a great work from a tragic fate: to disappear into a dusty attic, where it will be forgotten.
To give works a second life, Zart has set up a new sales page! It concerns ex-rentals or prints with a little mistake. Here you will find the currently available works. Zart offers a discount of between 25% and 75% at purchase. For the current status and availability of a work, please check our online gallery below. In case you want to see the work ‘live’: make an appointment and we will show you the work in the comfort of your home. Zart offers a discount of between 25% and 75% at purchase. For the current status and availability of a work, please contact us.
The collection changes on a daily basis so please contact us when you are interested so we can make an appointment.

‘I am my own model’ (Sim 2014). A simple and complex sentence at the same time. In the works you see here, Round and Round and Circles, fine artist and illustrator Sim used a camera with a self-timer and some large screens as a starting point to get the work going. Very refreshing is that you are not looking at a regular selfie. Neither are the works made as a comment on body politics. There are also no hidden feminist statements about the search for a female visual language. Sim uses images of herself for no other than practical reasons.
Sim:”I have been searching for models for a very long time. Either they have limited time or they are too expensive. So I decided to be my own model. “In the beginning I had to get used to the idea of seeing myself as an image”, Sim admits. “I had to get over the feeling to start correcting things about myself. At the same time it felt comfortable to paint myself, Sim tells. “How can painting your own contours feel strange? I do not look at all kinds of imperfections I could find but focus on form and posture”.
New at Zart: High-quality prints on canvas or acrylic glass (Plexi) in smaller sizes. Where everyone else wants to go bigger, Zart takes the super-size trend into another direction. Zart goes from Large to Medium. This way we hope to make our collection even more accessible. Art should be for everyone and Zart makes it possible. A smaller size means a better price!
Comparing a print on canvas to a print on Dibond is hardly fair. The end results are radically different. What remains the same is the super high quality of the print. As you can see on the collage below, we take great care of all details from the beginning till the end. At Zart, we do not publish large editions. Our collection demands great craftsmanship from various parties, the artist, our printer and our framing fabric. Therefore, we are extra proud to be able to give you our special canvas – and Plexi deal.
All works on canvas are printed in a limited edition of 30 pieces. You print is delivered signed and numbered bordered with a frame. The price of a canvas print is €425,-. Those who want to rent a print pay €25,- a month for the minimal period of 6 months.

Don’t go anywhere! Zart will come to you. All you have to do is to check your agenda and make an appointment. One of our employees will come to your home or office to give you a private peek in our collection. What is better then having a small exhibition in the comfort of your own place? Here are a few good reasons to get the Zart experience:
Yes we know. You can never get the feel for a work of art if you do not see it real time. In the place you had in mind for it. In the evironment where it will hopefully stay for a long time. By showing you several works that migth be of interest to you. We hope to make you “experience” the work. You will be able to feel it and see where it fits best. This is a great way to see if the piece you liked at first sight is really what you had in mind.
Our dibond-prints are produced with the greatest care. We made it our objective to keep art available to many by pricing the work as such. However, it is not a poster you buy/rent or lease. It’s a work of art. The pieces need proper care and in this way we can give you all the information you need to keep it in the most perfect condition.
Rent, lease or buy? Once you have chosen one or more works, Zart will make you a financial proposal. When you like to rent a couple of pieces for a longer period of time an have not decided yet what to do -rent or lease?- You may want to negotiate the pricing model. This is easier when you talk face to face. Remember, we try to make purchasing art as easy as possible. Completely painless!
Next month we will start a massive discount action. Make an appointment now and make sure to have the first choice. After all, the works are produced in a limited edition. Sold out is sold out.
The main reason why people buy art is simply because it makes one feel good. Renting art can make you feel even better. Buying art could be compared to buying clothes. It involves a risk. You just bought that great suit. When you get home, you discover that there is no matching shirt, the sleeves are too short and doubt settles in. Was your purchase worth the money? Unfortunately the receipt disappeared mysteriously. Taking the suit back to the store is no longer an option. As a result you feel uncertain, frustrated or even angry. If you buy art, you might end up feeling the same way. In that case, why do you not consider to rent an artwork? Renting art is absolutely painless.
5 good reasons to rent instead of purchase a work:
We all know that feeling: in the spur of the moment you take that unplanned decision to buy something. Once you purchased the piece, there is no way back and you start to doubt your decision. When you decide to rent a painting, there is no such pain. At Zart we help you to make the right decision without a financial risk.
How do you know the work you bought is not overpriced? How can you decide upon its value? The truth is that you can never be sure the price its worth the value. As a result you will probably override your budget. Renting a work avoids the question of price and value all together. When you rent a piece at Zart you get it for a fixed price, namely: €25,- a month.
Most art lovers who want to buy a work, do a lot of research first. What they find is a lot of different information about a piece of art coming from a lot of shady sources. This creates insecurity. How do you know a work is real? How do you know it has not been stolen? In Zart you will find a reliable partner. When you rent from Zart, you know what you get, where the work comes from, and how many prints have been made.
Collecting art is a matter of taste. We don’t doubt your good taste, but your partner, colleagues or flatmates may do. Renting art is painless with respect to making choices: you can’t go wrong. If others object to the work of your choice, Zart offers the possibility to take back the work.
Sometimes a space just needs a new look. Or you may be relocating and the new building has a totally different atmosphere then the old one. The old works just do not add anything to the new space. In that case renting a few works is attractive. It is an affordable way to quickly give any place an instant contemporary look and feel after your personal taste.

Herman Brusselmans, Christophe Vekeman, Saskia Noort en Kluun droegen zondag 23 februari in restaurantBaut voor uit eigen werk . Op de achtergrond: Zart-kunst van Coen Pohl en David de Leeuw.
Het is niet iedere dag dat je een viergangenlunch plus verbale lekkernijen van bekende Nederlandse en Vlaamse schrijvers krijgt voorgeschoteld. Zart-man José Verspui en zijn 2 kunstenaars genieten ervan, in het hippe restaurant aan de Wibautstraat.
Terwijl de honderd genodigden hun tongen laten strelen door paddestoelensoep, dikbelegde natuurbroodjes, paddorisotto en fancy toetjes, trakteren de schrijvers hen op de verhouding man/vrouw, zelfmoord, seks en poep met de geur van uiensoep (u mag zelf raden wie wat in de mond neemt). En geloof het of niet er is ook een konijn dat zingt.
De Amsterdamkaart van Coen Pohl voegt een strakke en stijlvolle blikvanger toe aan de kleine schemerige VIP-nis met lederen bank en fauteuil waar het drietal zit. En de magische Amsterdamreflectiefoto’s van David de Leeuw wedijveren met de bekende schrijvers om aandacht. Gelukkig hangen de vijf werken van Zart er nog tot half april. In gelimiteerde oplages, maar Zart verkoopt en verhuurt ze tegen een schappelijke prijs. Topkunst die betaalbaar is. Komt dat zien!
