Kees Verwey

Kees Verwey made a name for himself in the 20th century as a painter, watercolorist and draftsman. He was also known for his stubborn, contrary personality.

Verwey was born in Haarlem, in a family of painters, poets and architects, and is considered a true representative of the school of the classics, but with his own 'twist'. His themes consist of colour and form, flowers and decay, women, objects and matter, all painted in his studio on the Spaarne under constantly changing light and atmosphere.

Verwey lived to be 95 years old and his work spans almost a century, which gives his oeuvre an extra charge. His mischievous, sometimes irascible personality and his refusal to bow to any trend or movement, give his work a completely unique character. It is abundantly clear that Verwey comes to his full glory in his portraits of women, his studio pieces and flower watercolors in ever-changing colors and compositions.

tax benefit

Verwey Museum Haarlem is registered as a Cultural ANBI. An ANBI is exempt from gift tax. For a benefactor, the ANBI status means a tax advantage in income tax and corporate income tax.

What does this mean for Friends and one-off donors?

Thanks to our ANBI status, donating provides tax benefits for individuals and companies. Compared to a normal ANBI, a donation to a Cultural ANBI even yields more benefits thanks to the 25% extra deduction that applies when donating to this ANBI.
Our ANBI number is 807166558.

For example, a regular donation can be a monthly, annual or one-off donation. Ordinary donations must be demonstrable for the tax authorities. This can be done, for example, via a bank statement. As a one-off donor or friend, you are eligible for the tax benefits that apply to a regular gift, because this is also deductible.

There is, however, a threshold amount. This threshold amount for ordinary donations is 1% of the threshold income with a minimum of € 60. There is also a maximum of 10% for the deduction of ordinary donations.
