Gallery Suma

The collection of Chris Suma of Gallery Suma focuses particularly on glass art from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods.

His expertise lies in the glass of Johann Loetz Witwe, one of the most important and innovative producers of iridescent Jugendstil glass around 1900.

Gallery Suma’s specialized collection occupies a distinctive position within the Dutch art market.

With a fresh perspective and strong personal involvement, Chris Suma presents a carefully curated selection of art glass, complemented by exceptional works of art and decorative arts from the same period.

The collection is primarily presented at art and antiques fairs in the Netherlands and Belgium, while the website reaches a worldwide audience.

Over the years, Gallery Suma has consequently built an extensive international clientele of collectors and enthusiasts.

Alongside his activities as an art dealer, Chris Suma is actively involved in research into the glass production of Johann Loetz Witwe, in collaboration with the international Loetz research group.

His passion for the field also inspires frequent international travel, continuously searching for rare and exceptional objects and collections.

The Gallery Suma collection is constantly evolving and is characterized by quality, diversity and a clear focus on the decorative arts around 1900.

In addition to Johann Loetz Witwe, the collection regularly features works by Louis Majorelle, Émile Gallé, Daum Frères, Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, Zsolnay, Charles Schneider, Fritz Heckert, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel.
