The exhibition 'A for artists / E for exhibitions' is for a large part an overview of artworks the gallery has shown since its start in 1985. Quite some remarkable works of the eighties and nineties are combined with art works of a younger generation. Galerie van Gelder introduced artists who at the beginning of their career got acquainted with Fluxus, Pop, minimalism and conceptualism. Many of these artists were presented on art fairs such as Stockholm Art Fair, Smart Show, Art Basel, Arco, MiArt, Art Forum Berlin through which they had access to an art world outside of The Netherlands through which they got national and international attention: JCJ Vanderheyden (in 1986 first solo exhibition in Galerie van Gelder), Hreinn Fridfinnsson (in 2007 solo in de Serpentine Gallery, London), Kristján Gudmundsson (1987 in Galerie van Gelder, Carnagie Art Award in 2010). In 1988 John M Armleder's first show in the gallery, followed by solo exhibitions of Olivier Mosset (1990), Sylvie Fleury (1992), Ansuya Blom (1992), Steven Parrino (1993), Lily van der Stokker (1994), Marijke van Warmerdam (1995), Jill Magid (2003), Nicolas Chardon (2007), Ola Vasiljeva (2010) and Louwrien Wijers (2011).
