Profile

Rotterdam is not the first city that comes to mind when considering contemporary art. Cokkie Snoei is the only woman that comes to mind when discussing art and Rotterdam.

Established in 1989 her gallery specialises in contemporary art and maintains a unique inventory of twentieth-century vintage photography.The gallery has built a reputation for it's strong association with both established and unknown artists.

Cokkie Snoei's talent lies in mixing the experimental with the traditional, the glamourous with the conceptual, and style with attitude. Her exhibitions are humourous, erotic, surreal and sublime.

Cokkie is cosmopolitan. You can find her in most of Europe's serious art fairs, including Basel, Cologne, Paris, Stockholm and Madrid. But you can also find her in New York.

A frequent-flyer champion, our ebullient blonde matron of the arts is often in the company of one of the artists of her unique stable. They are sculptors, painters, designers, vidiots and photographers. Her fin de siècle space is unmissable when visiting Rotterdam.
