• About the artist

  Abraham Salm (Amsterdam, March 26, 1857 - Amsterdam, June 13, 1915) was a Dutch architect. Like his father G.B. Salm, he specialized in non-residential construction.

  After graduating from the Hogere Burgerschool, Salm was his father's assistant for a short time. In June 1877 he left for Zwolle to be apprenticed to the architect J.G.J. of Roosmalen. In April 1878 he left for Paris, where he started working for Émile Vaudremer. When his father came to visit him that year, they visited the world fair in that city together.

  In December 1880, Salm returned to the Netherlands and settled in Amsterdam. Until about 1894 he mainly worked with his father, after which he had his own practice. In his later life, Salm occupied a prominent place within the Society for the Promotion of Architecture, of which he was chairman from 1898 to 1912.

  Salm was Officer of the Order of Orange Nassau and Knight of the Order of St. Anne of Russia. He is buried at the Nieuwe Oosterbegraafplaats in Amsterdam.

  His half-brother Hendrik Salm was a director and member of parliament in Suriname.
