ABOUT
Since the late 1960s, Axel Vervoordt has built up a strong reputation as an antiques dealer and art connoisseur. His family-run business has grown into an international company that proposes art, antiques and interior design. The company has always been uncompromising when it comes to quality and beauty. It's industrial space Kanaal proposes a unique and very diverse collection of objects including archaeological pieces, 18th century furniture, 20th century design, ZERO and Gutai art. All objects, regardless of their origin or value, share a timeless, universal beauty and an intrinsic purity. The Axel Vervoordt Gallery, directed by Boris Vervoordt, offers a platform for established and emerging artists to show their work on an international level. The gallery focuses primarily on artists with a passion for the concept of the void and whose dedication to the creative process expresses a fascination with the meaning of the universe.
