25th edition
From Friday 20 to Monday 23 April inclusive, the 25th edition of the contemporary art fair artbrussels will take place in the Brussels Expo exhibition centre. A select group of leading galleries from 20 countries will bring work by both established and young, up-and-coming artists. Visitors can look forward to browsing more than 2,000 artworks, offering a fantastic, actual overview of the latest developments in the contemporary art world.
artbrussels may have a youthful image, but it also has 25 years of experience. It first saw the light of day as a modest art fair in 1968. Art Actuel, as it was then called, was a cutting-edge biannual fair with art from leading galleries, brought together at the invitation of the foremost Belgian exhibitors.
By 1997 the foundations of a new future had been laid. After several major changes, including the transformation from a biennale to an annual fair, it grew into an internationally recognised event of some stature. artbrussels is now a top-class player on the international art market.
From the start artbrussels has had the profile of a contemporary art fair for established and for young talent. The fair is a favourite of collectors and curators alike, a place for real discoveries. artbrussels can therefore justifiable be described as the contemporary art fair of the moment.
The 25 anniversary of artbrussels will not go by unnoticed. For this jubilee edition the fair has been restyled and a number of established or promising Belgian artists have been invited to create an intervention for the fair.
