Lineart 2010
Flanders Expo, Ghent
International art fair for ethnographic, modern and contemporary. The ultimate eye-catcher this year is the initiative called 'The Moderns. 20th century Art Zone' which is giving Belgian 20th century art a privileged place in the context of the trade fair. Three Special features within this art zone are: Leon Spilliaert, Pierre Alechinsky and Jan Fabre. Other refreshing creations, such as the 'Focus on Singapore' exhibit, underline that Lineart more than deserves its reputation as a high-quality sales platform with global appeal.
Art lovers and collectors are indulged with new high-
quality projects at the ultimate art fair of Flanders
New section ‘The Moderns’: a high-quality sales platform with global
appeal.
The art fair team of Lineart 2010 leaves no stone unturned in its efforts to make the 29th
occurrence of the ultimate ‘fusion’ art fair of Flanders yet again a resounding success.
During last year’s resoundingly successful event, which enchanted over 24,000 visitors (a
50% increase compared with 2006), project leader Ward Caes developed Lineart further still,
into a high-quality sales platform.
The sweeping substantive and strategic changes in direction that he has implemented over
the last three years has manifestly been enthusiastically received by galleries and the public
alike; with a total of 24,073 visitors, Lineart 09 recorded a staggering 50% growth in three
years. This coming December, the lion’s share of the exhibiting galleries will take part once
again, but the fair is also welcoming a host of new galleries, both from Belgium and abroad.
Talking about a successful repositioning...
Thanks to the proven success of artistic projects and a few new, refreshing initiatives, he is
directing the visitors attention more than ever on the top-quality items that will be offered for
sale.
Art lovers visiting the 29th Lineart event between 3 and 7 December 2010 can look forward to
numerous innovations, which will make this international art fair for ethnographic, modern
and contemporary art in the central hall of the Flanders Expo exhibition complex in Ghent an
absolute must.
The ultimate eye-catcher this year will be the initiative called ‘The Moderns. 20th century Art
Zone’, which is giving Belgian 20th century art a privileged place in the context of the trade
fair. Other refreshing creations, such as the ‘Focus on Singapore’ exhibit, underline that
Lineart more than deserves its reputation as a high-quality sales platform with global appeal.
New section! The Moderns. A 20th century art zone
An absolute revelation at the 2010 event is the section ‘The Moderns’, with
top-quality Belgian art of the 20th century. The project leader of Lineart,
Ward Caes, has made a selection consisting of one hundred artists,
representing the very best of Belgian art in the 20th century.
The very first gallery to express faith and participate in the project is
Galerie Jamar, famous for its collection of top Belgian artists. Jos Jamar
will treat Lineart’s visitors to no less than three ‘Special features’ within
this art zone: Leon Spilliaert, Pierre Alechinsky and Jan Fabre.
