Art Antwerp

At Art Antwerp 2025, we presented a carefully composed selection of works spanning the 20th century, with a focus on the relationship between drawing, painting and printmaking.

In parallel, figures including Pol Mara, Marc Mendelson and Fred Bervoets introduced a more expressive and figurative dimension, while the presence of numerous works on paper emphasized drawing as a space for experimentation.

Overall, the selection offered a layered view of artistic production, emphasizing the coexistence of expressive and geometric approaches within Belgian postwar ar
