MARUANI MERCIER: Pam Glick, Romantic Comedy
MARUANI MERCIER is delighted to present Romantic Comedy, the exhibition of new paintings by Pam Glick, opening on April 23 at our Brussels gallery. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and her first in Belgium. Constructed in vibrant blocks of carefully selected hues of pink, orange, green, and blue, the paintings in Romantic Comedy are resolutely celebratory, projecting a sense of joy and unimpeded rhythm. Quilt-like, the paintings evoke accumulations of flashes of human experience and echo the orthogonal patterns of the New York streets. Addressing the legacy of Modernism and the history of abstract painting, Glick embraces the free momentum of the hand and body in the undulating lines, locating the authentic and immediate expression of being in the world...
About the artist: Glick's paintings respond to landscapes which she describes as “the perfect blend of physical and spiritual.” Her work emerges through improvisation and free association, capturing a deep yet surprising connection to nature. Born in Albany, Georgia, in 1956, Glick studied Painting at Rhode Island School of Design in 1980 and earned her MFA from the University of Buffalo in 2019. In 1995, Glick moved to Vermont, focusing on collage and works on paper, and later had an artist residency in Budapest in 2019. Her work is part of several collections, including the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, The Broad, and Deutsche Bank.

COLNAGHI - Official opening of the venue in Brussels
STUDIO exhibition until the 30th of May 2025 by appointment
The new gallery space, 30 rue Jacques Jordaens, will be inaugurated on the 23rd of April 2025 with an exhibition titled “STUDIO”, a playful exploration spotlighting both artists at work in their studios and the study conducted by Colnaghi during its important artistic rediscoveries. To mark the occasion, Colnaghi will unveil an important recent rediscovery made by the gallery, the Triumph of Minerva by Jacob Jordaens, the 17th-century Flemish master and namesake of the gallery’s new address.
The work, rediscovered by Colnaghi after decades of absence from public view, is widely recognised to be an important study for a large, now lost composition by Jordaens. A series of nine photographs by Douglas Duncan of Pablo Picasso at work in his studio will complement the “STUDIO” theme, giving an intimate perspective into the artist’s creative practice.

Claes Contemporary & Modern Gallery: Congolese painters from the early 1970s to the present day
For the first time, the Claes Contemporary & Modern Gallery opens its doors to an exhibition bringing together Congolese painters from the early 1970s to the present day. At the dawn of Independence, as art academies flourished across the country, young artists sought to build artistic careers outside conventional codes and pictorial traditions. In 1978, the group exhibition « Art Partout » at the Kinshasa Academy of Fine Arts, bringing together both « academicians » and « self-taught » artists, introduced to the public many artists who proclaimed themselves as « popular artists ». Narrators of urban life and guardians of collective memory, their paintings reimagined the style of their predecessors from the Hangar workshop, embracing figurative art inspired by daily life, political events, and social realities—imagery in which the entire population could recognize itself...

Objects With Narratives presents a solo show by Jojo Corvaia & a group show
SOLO SHOW - JOJO CORVAIA - TEMPS & MATIERE
Jojo Corväiá offers a body of work where materials are not only shaped, but inhabited by absence, by the quiet force of being. The artist captures the delicate dance between silence and movement, between presence and the traces it leaves in time. His sculptures do not hide; yet they whisper, unfolding slowly, like a quiet conversation between form and memory. Each piece bears the marks of its creation; textures that hold the weight of touch, edges fading into shadow, surfaces that seem to breathe. There is an intimacy in this rawness, a language of fractures, of forms settling softly into space. Like a murmur in the wind, this work exists in the space in-between, anchored and ephemeral, where silence is never still, and the unseen vibrates just beneath the surface.
GROUP SHOW - SAVOIR MATIERE - ‘Knowing Material’
Artists: Cedric Breisacher, Frédéric Saulou, William Guillon, Elissa Lacoste, Kiko Lopéz, Tom Jablin

De Brock: Fourth solo show with Jason Martin, Folk Law
De Brock is pleased to present its fourth solo exhibition with Jason Martin. Martin channels a minimal approach to painting through an expansive yet controlled use of colour, brush and medium. Martin interrogates the fundamentals of painting, veering from epic and luscious compositions of swirling forms to pared-down and muted abstractions in precisely blended tones. Martin’s sensual, three dimensional paintings bow to Abstract Expressionism with their obvious focus on process and intensely expressive gestures.
Martin (b. 1970, Jersey, UK) lives and works in London and Comporta.

Galerie Christophe Gaillard presents a Group show
This group exhibition explores the subtle boundary between the material and immaterial world, inviting the viewer to reflect on what sparks our desire to touch a work of art, as well as on the possibility of making visible and tangible what eludes us.
Works by
Éric Baudart (FR, 1972) / Nancy Brook Brody (US, 1962-2023) / Pier Paolo Calzolari (IT, 1943) / Edith Dekyndt (BE, 1960) / Hélène Delprat (FR, 1957) / Marina Gadonneix (FR, 1977) / Kendell Geers (ZA, 1968) / Cate Giordano (US, 1986) / Dave Hardy (US, 1969) / Thibault Hazelzet (FR, 1975) / Rachel de Joode (NL, 1979) / Michel Journiac (FR, 1935-1995) / Isabelle Le Minh (FR, 1965) / Michelle Lopez (US, 1970) / Anita Molinero (FR, 1953) / Georges Noël (FR, 1924-2010) / Léo Orta (FR, 1993) / Daniel Pommereulle (FR, 1937-2003) / SMITH (FR, 1985) / Pablo Tomek (FR, 1988) / William Tucker (GB/US, 1935) / Letha Wilson (US, 1976)
At the entrance of the exhibition, the eye calls upon the hand. Visitors are greeted by a vibrant interplay of colors and textures, immediately evoking the desire to touch. But caution is advised - these works challenge perception and play with the illusions that materiality can create. Daniel Pommereulle, Éric Baudart, Letha Wilson, and Dave Hardy manipulate materials and forms in ways that surprise us and heighten our senses.

MARUANI MERCIER: inaugural show of South African artist Kate Gottgens
Gottgens builds her work from a variety of sourced imagery— anonymous snapshots found at flea markets, family vacation photos, or fragments retrieved from the vast digital archive of the internet. Stripped of their original contexts, these images become the raw material for a process of reconstruction and transformation. This gives rise to landscapes that feel both intimate and unplaceable, imbued with an unsettling, cinematic tension. A feminist undercurrent runs through the works in Darkening Dusk, with Gottgens increasingly centering enigmatic female figures.
Her paintings do not offer clear narratives but instead invite viewers to respond instinctively, as if recalling a dream just beyond their reach. Suspended between the past and present, beauty and disquiet, her work lingers in the spaces where certainty fades and something more enigmatic takes hold. Darkening Dusk invites viewers to enter a world where reality and memory, nature and self, are never fully defined.

Galerie Jean-François Cazeau dévoile 'La Figuration dans tous ses états'
Durant des siècles, les représentations picturales et sculpturales ont fasciné l’humanité. Néanmoins, au début du XXe siècle, avec l’arrivée de l’abstraction et la libération de la peinture de toute contrainte de figuration, la peinture figurative devient un terme difficile. L’art moderne et l’art abstrait deviennent synonymes à cette époque. La figuration, est-elle devenue un vestige, un survivant d’un autre monde? Sa persistance au sein des mouvements d’avant-garde montre que l’abstraction n’est pas la seule voie prise par les artistes pour renouveler le langage plastique. La Figuration dans tous ses états fait suite et pendant à l’exposition L’Abstraction dans tous ses états tenue par la galerie en 2018, une manière de montrer au public l’autre voie de la modernité plastique. L’exposition La Figuration dans tous ses états offre une vue panoramique des mouvements figuratifs de la modernité, à partir de l’impressionnisme, post-impressionnisme et l’École de Pont-Aven jusqu’à l’après-guerre...

Bernier/Eliades Gallery - Rallou Panagiotou, Hard Shoulder
The Bernier/Eliades Gallery is pleased to present "Hard Shoulder", a solo exhibition by Rallou Panagiotou, the artist’s first solo show in Brussels and her third with the Bernier/Eliades Gallery. The exhibition consists of a suite of new sculptures conceived like characters of a static absurdist theater play. All elements that appear in the works - partial bodies, objects, and places - become equal agents of open narrative possibilities. Each sculpture appears as a composite topology with a materiality synthetic and natural alike. Each examines the relations of objects, environment and the body in moments of leisure and reverie. Marble bas-reliefs, printed or industrially coated surfaces, and copies of architectural features morph together into fragmented mise en scènes....
The snake, whose body interacts with space like the lightwaves on obstacles, appears in the works through the mythological element of Medusa as well as via waveform elements throughout the exhibition; the S-shape of a chaise-longue where a pile of broken glass found on the shore reflects light, metal water hoses shape a Medusa’s raft, a line of blood streams from a cut on a leg.
Rallou Panagiotou lives in Glasgow and Athens.

Galerie Taménaga: Exposition collective Into the Woods
«La forêt est un état d’âme, elle a ses pensées, ses songes, ses murmures. C’est un être mystérieux qui a une âme comme l’homme, et qui souffre comme lui.» Les Contemplations de Victor Hugo, publié en 1856
Plus que la forêt elle-même, les artistes peignent la lumière. Celle qui se faufile, qui éclaire et transforme; de l’ombre profonde des sous-bois aux cimes baignées de lumière, du reflet d’une goutte d’eau longeant les sillons de l’écorce à la réverbération du soleil sur les nervures de feuilles. La forêt devient ce champ de forces invisibles où le jeu entre lumière et obscurité façonne notre perception.
De sa forêt finlandaise, Yuichiro Sato en capte l’anatomie des bouleaux et autres sapins. Par son dessin à la mine de plomb...
Face à cette exactitude, Pierre Roy-Camille, lui, inscrit le paysage dans une mémoire stratifiée. La forêt y est jungle...
Chez Enrico Tealdi, la forêt se dissout en une atmosphère brumeuse, tel un voile flottant...
Enfin, l’oeuvre de Youn Hye Sung se veut une exploration picturale où seule la lumière subsiste comme principe fondateur...

Dei Bardi Art - Focus on Veneto-Saracenic candlestick
The candlesticks reflect the technical innovations of Islamic metalworkers, particularly their advanced use of sand-casting for vessels and three-dimensional forms, a method that predated its widespread adoption in Europe by several centuries.The engraved arabesques, thread-like scrolls, acanthus leaves, and palmettes provide a striking contrast to the coats of arms.
This combination of Eastern and European influences defines a category of artworks known as Veneto-Saracenic. This term refers to a group of metal vessels produced between the 14th and 16th centuries that blend Middle Eastern craftsmanship with European stylistic features.
These objects are now understood to have been produced in the Near East -particularly Egypt and Syria- specifically for Western clients. These candlesticks serve as rare examples of how Venetian upper bourgeoisie and nobility embraced Orientalist influences during the late Renaissance. They also testify to this fascination and cross-cultural exchange, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic dialogue between East and West.

rodolphe janssen presents works by Thomas Lerooy and Alice Tippit
Surprising shifts, curves, and frequent changes of direction. The road through the mountains is full of twists and turns. For his sixth solo exhibition at rodolphe janssen, Thomas Lerooy presents a new series of small and large paintings on panel and on canvas, alongside unique sculptures in bronze and stone. With Twists and Turns, Lerooy continues to build an oeuvre that recontextualizes and demystifies existing visual lexicons. His sculptures depict bronze faces crushed between massive stone blocks. They evoke the tension between movement and stillness, between freedom and constraint. These works suggest an allegory of a society that both shapes and crushes us.
Lerooy’s oeuvre continues to balance between opposites: the sculptures and paintings oscillate between heaviness and lightness, concealment and revelation, grotesque and intimate, classical and twisted, observing and being seen. Twists and Turns is an exercise in seeing differently, in rephrasing what we think we know.
About the artist: (BORN) 1981 IN ROESELARE, BELGIUM (BASED) BRUSSELS, BELGIUM
Thomas Lerooy has gained international recognition through several solo exhibitions in recent years, including at institutions such as TANK Shanghai (2024), the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (2019), Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens in Deurle (2017), and the Petit Palais in Paris (2015). His work is part of major public collections, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Province of West Flanders, the Belfius Art Collection in Brussels, and the cities of Brussels, Puurs, and Knokke, where he has a permanent monumental installation.

Brussels, Rue de Livourne 32, Figs by Alice Tippit, 27 March - 10 May 2025

Alice Tippit (USA, 1975) is a Chicago-based artist whose work fluctuates between the figurative and abstract realms. As she combines hard-edged style with a restrained color palette, the artist calls for a visual language based on bold graphic depictions to propose a subtle inquiry on everyday objects and their relation to humans, and bodies. Through multiple associations, Alice Tipitt compounds potential readings, that unfold in a myriad of interpretations, resulting in a hovering ambiguity that encourages the viewer to question forms and symbolics. Alice Tippit (b. 1975, lives and works in Chicago, IL USA) has had solo exhibitions at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, New York, NY USA; PATRON Gallery, Chicago, IL USA; KRETS, Malmö, Sweden; Kimmerich, Berlin, Germany; and many more. Group exhibitions were held at Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati, OH, USA; Kemper Museum of Contemporary ArtKansas City, MO, USA; Corbett vs. Dempsey, Chicago, IL, USA; Linn Luhn gallery, Düsseldorf, Germany; and many more.

Galerie Nathalie Obadia: Victoria Palacios's first solo show
Galerie Nathalie Obadia is pleased to present Victoria Palacios’s first solo exhibition, Des signes, des scènes, at the gallery in Brussels. Born in 1992 in Rennes, the French artist has lived and worked in Brussels for several years. She graduated in performance and painting from the École de Recherche Graphique (ERG) in 2019. Through a multidisciplinary practice combining painting, music, and performance, Victoria Palacios immerses visitors in a theatrical world of layered narratives, blending the sublime with the unsettling. The exhibition unveils new paintings, objects, and other recent works, in which captivating figures awake. Each piece seems suspended between the ecstasy of a celebration at its height and the melancholy of a spectacle drawing to a close.
Clowns, swans, veiled widows, and ghostly figures greet visitors in procession.The objects depicted come to life as well: they dance—like the bagpipe (biniou)—or sway in sinuous curves, like a lamp post beckoning spectators to follow. Little by little, visitors may come to realise they are watching the spectacle of their own lives: an existence shaped by fetishes, improvisations, laughter, wounds and bereavements, encounters and harmonies as impromptu as they are orchestrated....

Galerie AB presents 'Dessins de 1880 à nos jours'
During the 'MOIS DU DESSIN' in Paris, Agnès Aittouares opens her new venue in the heart of Saint-Germain-les-Prés for an exhibition of drawings by great artists from the 19th century to the present day. To look at a drawing is to penetrate to the heart of the artist's intimacy. Drawings are the very architecture of the artist's creative work, and were originally usually kept in the artist's studio. From the beginning of the 20th century, modern art, with its emphasis on materials and techniques, turned them into an art form in their own right. In this chronological tour, the visitor will discover the sensibility of these artists who, through drawing, reveal a creative gesture, touching on the major currents of modern art, such as Paul Signac's Impressionism, the intimism of Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard, the cubism of Georges Valmier and Leopold Survage, the surrealism of Joan Miro, the lyrical abstraction of Hans Hartung, the abstract expressionism of Sam Francis, the anamorphism of Sam Szafran and many others...

DIE GALERIE presents Max Ackermann I Pioneer of abstraction
With the exhibition Max Ackermann – Pioneer of Abstraction, DIE GALERIE celebrates the life and work of a German pioneer of non-objective painting 50 years after his death. Born in Berlin in 1887 and active primarily in Stuttgart and at Lake Constance, Max Ackermann (1887–1975) ranks among the absolute pioneers of German and international abstraction and deserves to be mentioned alongside celebrated contemporaries such as Willi Baumeister and Wassily Kandinsky. Always eager to experiment and keen to try out new techniques and styles, the artist's work is characterized by an impressive and consistent degree of diversity. “I master all styles”, the artist confidently claimed in the 1960s.
Comprising around 70 works, DIE GALERIE explores the vast range of this artistic genius, from extremely dynamic compositions often inspired by music, to large-scale color fields in varying shades of blue exuding a sense of calm and harmony. Painted between 1930 and the mid-1970s, the pieces in this exhibition work together like a perfectly orchestrated symphony of loud and soft tones, captivating the viewer's attention.

Ingert exhibits Georges Koskas. Works on paper from Jean Cherqui Collection
Georges Koskas (1926-2013) is an unclassifiable painter, who even worked throughout his life to be so, rejecting classifications and disassociating himself from schools to only follow his own most personal path, made up of explorations, reversals and sideways steps. Holding onto his independence and freedom more than anything else, he has changed style and directions many times, which has no doubt contributed to a certain reluctance on the part of critics, disconcerted by these breaks in continuity that prevent any clear categorisation. Still, his work is one of the most bold and harmonious expressions of French geometric abstraction. Just arrived in Paris after leaving Tunisia, Georges Koskas studied in André Lhote’s atelier, and later in Fernand Léger’s. This rigorous formation makes him particularly sensitive to the question of composition, which remains a central theme in his painting.
From the very beginning, his concern with composition went beyond the pure harmony of form and space to an ontological, even, in the words of writer Mustapha Chelbi, “cosmic” level. What manifested within him at that moment was indeed what he called a “need to understand the deep links between beings, objects and nature, going beyond the appearances of a figurative narrative”. Claiming the primacy of sensitivity and inspiration, Koskas traced his path in complete freedom, always choosing the direction towards which his joy and inclination took him. His work can be read as a questioning of the primary elements which constitute the world and the relationship that binds them together, which are both a cosmic mystery and the evidence of a presence in the light. The answers he suggests create a singular and poetic universe, with a minimalism that is as humble as it is radical, “where fantasy can lift the deepest part of our being into the light air”.

Tout un jeu de reflets composé de citations dans lequel la linéarité du temps se voit brisée. Dans cette absence de temps, la peinture se détache de la notion de culture et devient de l’humain. Elle se situe comme l’homme à la limite entre le réel et l’imaginaire ou l’idéal, un moment où le langage n’en a pas encore pris possession pour en faire un système de code. Un moment où la forme reste intuitive et libre, important à une époque où de l’intelligence digitale et codée avec sa réception algorithmée s’impose de plus en plus à nos cerveaux.
Currently in Brussels, Liliane Vertessen, till 12 April

HELENE BAILLY presents Poliakoff et la génération parisienne
If the innovations that Serge Poliakoff brought to modern painting are numerous – a rigorous approach to composition in abstraction, an inseparability of forms, a melodious harmony in painting – the impact he left on his contemporaries is even deeper.
The Hélène Bailly Gallery is proud to exhibit major works by Poliakoff – including the one used as the poster image for the retrospective dedicated to the artist at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris in 2013-2014 – true testimonies to his colorist genius and unique approach to abstract form. This exhibition highlights the richness of a generation that, in the artistic effervescence of postwar Paris, redefined the codes of modern art and permanently shaped the language of abstraction.

Repetto Gallery - Il canto della terra, curated by Paolo Repetto
With works by Giovanni Anselmo, Mirella Bentivoglio, Joseph Beuys, Alberto Burri, Gianni Caravaggio, Daniele De Lonti, Olafur Eliasson, Hamish Fulton, Mario Giacomelli, Piero Gilardi, Andy Goldsworthy, Michael Heizer (photographs by Gianfranco Gorgoni), Michelangelo Pistoletto, Richard Long, Ana Mendieta, David Nash, Ernesto Neto, Giuseppe Penone, Alessandro Piangiamore, Arcangelo Sassolino, Robert Smithson, (photographs by Gianfranco Gorgoni), Barthélémy Toguo, James Turrell, Laura Viale
Il canto della terra, a group exhibition curated by Paolo Repetto, explores the intimate and complex relationship between human beings and nature in an era of increasing urbanisation and environmental challenges, through a visual journey that brings together artists of international calibre. Part of the diffuse festival “L’Uomo e il Clima“, the exhibition invites us, through a variety of artistic languages, from site-specific installations to photography, from sculpture to land art and music, to reflect on our ancestral connection with the earth, our responsibility towards the environment and the intrinsic beauty of the landscape, celebrating its eternal dance and taking us on an artistic pilgrimage where art becomes an echo of the whisper of the wind, the trembling of the water, the breathing of the earth.

Galeria Jordi Pascual - Colectiva III
It is precisely this stylistic distance between the featured artists that allows for an exploration of the visual richness of art from the 1960s to the 2000s, a fluctuation that moves between the abstract and the figurative. These artistic approaches and outcomes contribute to the exhibition’s carefully curated visual diversity, a tapestry of pictorial and sculptural universes that reflect the identity of Galeria Jordi Pascual.

Kunstconsult 20th century art I objects - Matserpieces
At the upcoming Brafa Art Fair, collectors and art enthusiasts will have the rare opportunity to witness and acquire two extraordinary creations by Henry van de Velde (1863–1957). The work of this visionary architect and artist bridged the worlds of Art Nouveau and modernism. Kunstconsult presents an exceptionally rare Meissen dinner service and an early Bauhaus-style chair by Van de Velde. These masterpieces embody his innovative approach to design and mark key moments in the history of 20th-century applied arts. The legendary "Peitschenhieb" dinner service was designed by Van de Velde for the Meissen porcelain manufactory in 1902-1904.The offered set – comprising 58 pieces for 12 persons – is among the rarest surviving examples. Only three other services are known to exist worldwide... The rare 1911 armchair by Van de Velde, crafted in white-painted beech or ash by Scheidemantel Weimar, abandoned the flowing Art Nouveau forms of Van de Velde’s earlier works and reflects his evolving design philosophy and foreshadows the functional minimalism of Bauhaus...

Montagut Gallery - Thematic Exhibitions - Ngon masks and Baule gold ornaments
1. Five Exceptional Ngon Masks, each representing the rich cultural heritage of Cameroon
These masks stand out not only for their aesthetic composition but also for their historical value. It is rare to gather Ngon masks of such quality and significance, making this exhibition a truly exceptional and unique event. Ngon masks, often carved with remarkable detail, are emblematic of the cultural and spiritual practices of the Grassfields region. Traditionally used in ceremonies, these masks symbolize power, protection, and identity within their communities.
2. Gold Ornaments of the Baule Culture of Côte d'Ivoire. Each piece reflects the Baule people's artistic mastery and cultural significance, showcasing their exceptional craftsmanship in goldsmithing and their deep connection to tradition. All the ornaments in this collection come from a single Italian collection, Giovanni Franco Scanzi*, making their provenance as remarkable as their craftsmanship. These works highlight the symbolic use of gold in Baule rituals and adornments, celebrating themes such as beauty, prestige, and spiritual power.

Segoura Fine Art présente une sélection de highlights pour la BRAFA 2025
Le XIXe siècle, période de renouvellement artistique, est représenté par des oeuvres magistrales de Juana Romani, Ferdinand Heilbuth et Carolus-Duran. Romani, talentueuse portraitiste, nous offre des compositions intenses où l’élégance se mêle à la sensibilité. Heilbuth, quant à lui, explore avec délicatesse les scènes de genre et les paysages, tandis que Carolus-Duran capture l’essence de ses sujets avec une touche d’audace et de vivacité. Chacune de ces oeuvres reflète la diversité et la richesse stylistique d’une époque où le portrait et la scène de genre occupaient une place de choix dans l’art européen.
La galerie proposera également un sublime dessin du XXe siècle de Jean-Gabriel Domergue, représentant toute l’élégance de la modernité et l’audace graphique de cet artiste connu pour ses représentations féminines à l’allure distinguée.
Côté symbolisme, les oeuvres de Guéran de Scévola Henry Danger ou encore Carlos Schwab révèlent la puissance et la profondeur de ce mouvement artistique. À leurs côtés, nous présenterons également un artiste méconnu dans ce registre : Fausto Zonaro, qui, autour de 1907, s’aventure dans l’univers symboliste avec une toile d’une grande poésie, Les Nymphes des Vallées.Leur symbolisme, riche en détails ésotériques et en atmosphères mystérieuses, transportera les visiteurs dans un univers où l’imaginaire et la poésie se rencontrent pour créer des compositions captivantes et envoûtantes.
Les amateurs d’art pourront ainsi explorer ce voyage artistique exceptionnel au sein du stand de la Galerie Segoura, où chaque oeuvre a été choisie avec soin pour offrir un témoignage authentique des grandes périodes de l’histoire de l’art européen.

Mearini Fine Art presents a Special Highlight
Albert Figdor (Wien 1843-1927) is considered one of the last private art collectors of ancient art. At the beginning of the 20th century, Albert Figdor's art collection was considered the largest private collection in Europe. It included paintings, miniatures, sculptures, ivory carvings, tapestries, clocks, gold and silversmith's work from altars to jewelry as well as relics and around 300 pieces of furniture of all kinds. As Figdor had a particular fondness for objects of domestic and craft use, chandeliers, stoves, metal vessels, tiles, faience, stoneware, glassware, games, toys, medals, textiles, tools and many other groups of objects were added, demonstrating the broad spectrum of their respective genres.
The actual size of the encyclopedic collection seems never to have been determined in terms of numbers; it was estimated at 5,000 to 6,000 artifacts. Many of these can now be found in important museums and private collections around the world. This legendary collection is published in five volumes. This sculpture is published in the 4th volume of the collection.

VKD Jewels presents Luz Camino at BRAFA 2025
Background
Luz Camino began her career in the jewellery world with a deep fascination for art and design. Self-taught, she learned the intricacies of the craft through experimentation and a huge passion for the craft. Her Spanish heritage plays a major role in her work, which often features Mediterranean influences.
Design style
Her style is characterised by a deep appreciation for nature. She draws inspiration from flowers, leaves, insects and other natural forms, which she transforms into sophisticated, delicate jewellery. Camino's work balances on the border between art and craft, where each piece can be considered both a wearable piece of jewellery and a work of art in its own right...

Galeries AB-BA - Hommage à Jean-Pierre Ghysels & Cabinet de Curiosités de Georges Goldfayn, ami d'André Breton
The galerie BA shows a Cabinet of Curiosities from the collection of Georges Goldfayn, friend of Surrealist André Breton. Georges Goldfayn (1933-2017), a film critic, was just 17 when he met André Breton. He was immediately adopted by the Surrealist family. For BRAFA, we are bearing witness to this friendship by reconstructing Georges Goldfayn's ‘Wall’, a reference to Breton's ‘Wall’ in the Centre Pompidou. This is life, with its passions and encounters: Surrealist drawings and sculptures, as well as works of Art Brut and Art Premier, particularly from Oceania. So many references from which the Surrealists drew their inspiration...
