Artist. Collector.
Living in and for art.
Defiantly anti-censorship.

Always attending, documenting and participating in our Art & Culture Festivals – wherever they were.

He devoted himself to giving Homoerotic art the respect and status it deserves, himself a connoisseur of Fetish.

In his own words, “is committed to the usual insecure, self-absorbed, excessive, judgmental and the bizarre, shocking pornographic stuff us Homos just can’t seem to live without.”

Ad peacefully passed away on 19th November in Delft. He will be be remembered for the vast, weaving and deep website he managed with insights into kink and art, leaving us with an unsurpassed digital history.

A Lifetime Member of Tom of Finland Foundation,
Ad received a Dedication Award
from ToFF in 2016
for his ongoing dedication to protecting, preserving and promoting erotic art.

There will be a commemoration of Ad on Wednesday 27th November at 1p at Rietveld Theater, Schieweg 15B, 2627 AN Delft, The Netherlands.

Because it is not possible for everyone to be present at this farewell, there is the option to follow it via live stream.

An online memorial page has been created where memories and photos can be shared. The link to the livestream will also be posted there.
