After a very well-received 68th edition in January, BRAFA is now preparing its 69th edition which will take place from Sunday 28th January to Sunday 4th February 2024 at Brussels Expo in Belgium.

BRAFA prides itself on being one of the highest-quality international fairs in Europe. Its taste for excellence is evident in the selection of exhibitors. This year, it will be welcoming 132 galleries from 14 countries, offering a range of specialities from Antiquity to contemporary art.

BRAFA prides itself on being one of the highest-quality international fairs in Europe. Its taste for excellence is evident in the selection of exhibitors. This year, it will be welcoming 132 galleries from 14 countries, offering a range of specialities from Antiquity to contemporary art.

Didier Claes, the Vice-Chairman of BRAFA, Non-European Art Section, explains: “For this edition, we wanted to offer an even greater diversity of specialities, whilst remaining close to the DNA of the Fair, which is first and foremost an antiques fair. As a result, in January 2024, we'll have an appropriate balance between the different fields on display. With this dynamic, we’re seeking to attract a multi-generational audience.”

Each year, new applications are carefully examined and two days are devoted to expert appraisals prior to the opening of the Fair. More than 80 international experts specialising in different periods and fields carry out meticulous checks on the authenticity, quality and state of conservation of the works, so that collectors can buy with complete confidence.

Francis Maere, the Vice-Chairman of BRAFA’s Modern and Contemporary Art Section, remarks: “The art market nowadays is so bountiful that it can be hard to find your way around. What sets BRAFA apart from other fairs is its seriousness, with a particular focus on quality. We’ve taken yet another step in this direction for the next edition.”

18 new exhibitors will be taking part, completing the range of fields on display at BRAFA. In Antique Art, the Spanish Nicolás Cortés Gallery will be exhibiting European paintings and sculptures from the fifteenth to the early twentieth century, including works by Zurbaran, Goya, Ribera and Murillo. Ralph Gierhards Antiques / Fine Art, a German specialist in European art from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, will be presenting gilt bronze objects, sculptures, furniture, Old Master paintings, Impressionist paintings and Art Deco objects. The Heutink Ikonen gallery, based in the Netherlands, will be displaying a selection of icons from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries from the Balkans, Russia, Greece, Egypt and Ethiopia. The German gallery Kunsthaus Kende will be offering antique and modern silverware, as well as contemporary creations. Two Italian galleries specialising in the Haute Epoque, Mearini Fine Art and Romigioli Antichità, will be joining the list of 2024 exhibitors. For its part, the French gallery Marc Maison will be presenting nineteenth-century architecture, furniture and objects relating to the World’s Fairs of 1851-1900. For the first time, BRAFA will also be welcoming Secher Fine Art & Design, a Danish gallery specialising in modern art (COBRA movement). In contemporary art, the French gallery Christophe Gaillard, which has just moved to Brussels, will be presenting works by contemporary artists as well as those active in the 60s and 90s. Finally, 2024 will see the return of two Parisian galleries: Galerie Kevorkian, which specialises in Ancient Oriental archaeology, Islamic and Indian art, and Galerie Flak, which specialises in classical art from Africa, Oceania and North America. Last but not least, the Belgian gallery Sofie Van de Velde will once again have a stand at the Fair at the next edition, offering a bold confrontation between modern and contemporary artists.
