In 1984, TORCH Gallery was established by Adriaan van der Have as a stage for Dutch and international Contemporary Art. In those days the medium photography was not even regarded as an art form. After all, since its discovery halfway the nineteenth century, photography had developed into the layman's way of capturing their surroundings. Van der Have was among the first to see the potential for high art in the medium. He continued to take risks on new ways of expression, making him a pioneer promoter of photography, veejay-art and finally digital image editing as respectable forms of Contemporary Art. Now his son, Mo, continues his legacy.
